Abstract
A solution of the plane problem of the contact interaction of a periodic system of convex punches with an elastic half-plane is given for two forms of boundary conditions: 1) sliding of the punches when there is friction and wear, and 2) the indentation of the punches when there is adhesion. The problem is reduced to a canonical singular integral equation on the arc of a circle in the complex plane. The solution of this equation is expressed in terms of simple algebraic functions of a complex variable, which considerably simplifies its analysis. Asymptotic expressions are obtained for the solution of the problem in the case when the size of the contact area is small compared with the distance between the punches.
