Abstract

This paper investigates the dynamic contact response of a viscoelastic coated half-plane under a forced rigid punch. This punch, acting on the coating surface, is subjected to a concentrated vertical harmonic force. The coating and half-plane are assumed as viscoelastic materials which can be described by the linear hysteretic damping model. Using the Fourier integral transform technique and the asymptotic method, the dynamic contact problem is reduced to a Cauchy singular integral equation. By using appropriate numerical method, the dynamic contact stress and vertical impedance for the flat punch are calculated. It is found that the dynamic contact behaviors are not only affected by the external excitation frequency but also dependent on the material properties of the coated half-plane.
