On Two Problems of Contact Interaction of Stringers with an Elastic Half-Plane

Abstract:

Two contact problems on the interaction between a system of an arbitrary finite number of stringers or a periodic system of stringers and a massive deformable body in the form of an elastic half-space under plane deformation are considered. These problems are discussed in the formulation when the mode of elastic displacements of the stringers is given in advance, and it is required to determine the contact stresses and the force factors acting on the stringers. In this formulation, problem solving is reduced to solving the singular integral equation (SIE) with a Cauchy kernel or a Fredholm integral equation (FIE) that admits an exact solution.
