The generalized Cattaneo partial slip plane contact problem. II - Examples

This second part of the paper uses the method devised in the part I to give explicit solution to several cases of Cattaneo's plane contact problem, where a monotonically increasing tangential load, starting from zero: is applied to the bodies in contact, with normal loading held fixed. The method consists in reducing the partial slip problem to a superposition of frictionless normal contact problems, for which several results are available, including some recent cases studied by the author. Therefore, a comprehensive set of results is given for single, multiple and periodical contacts. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
