Handbook of Plane Contact Mechanics: Exact Solutions of Plane Contact Problems

The book contains a structured collection of complete solutions to all relevant plane contact problems. Classic profiles – such as the cylinder, the wedge, or the rectangular flat punch – are considered under centric and eccentric loading, but also a variety of other technically relevant shapes, such as the flat punch with rounded edges, the wedge with rounded tip, or wavy surfaces. With regard to the load configuration, adhesive and non-adhesive normal contacts, tangential contacts, and ro...
