1INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL REVIEW
Apparently, the studies in contact interaction mechanics began in 1882 with the work of H. Hertz,1where he described
the solution of a contact problem for two elastic bodies with curved surfaces. The results of these studies, as well as the
results of the later work in2are considered to be classical and have not still lost their value despite several serious restrictive
assumptions in the original formulation. The contact mechanics is also related to fundamental problems such as the
problem of action of a concentrated force on a half-space, which was solved by J. Boussinesque in3and the equilibrium
problem for an elastic half-space under the action of a distributed load, solved by A. Flaman in 1892.4It should be noted
that, apparently, the first flat contact problem was posed and solved by S.A. Chaplygin in 1900. He considered the general
problem of pressure of a cylinder on an elastic soil. However, the work was not published and was found in archival
documents5; therefore, the contact problem for an elastic half-space and a rigid punch with flat base is usually called the
M.A. Sadowsky problem.6Until the 1930s, the comprehensive experimental theoretical studies confirmed Hertz's theory
and made contributions to the development of its applications in engineering. No fundamental research in the field of
contact mechanics was practically carried out since necessary mathematical tools were absent.
In the 1930s, Academician N.I. Muskhelishvili and his followers began to develop efficient methods in the theory of
function of a complex variable.7,8 They obtained fundamental results in the field of integral equations, methods of integral
transforms, and potential theory. The results of these investigations allowed one to solve new problems in the elasticity
theory and, in particular, to obtain solutions of contact problems. The solution of the basic mixed problem for a half-plane
was obtained in the most general form. A. Liapounoff9also made a significant contribution to the development of the
theory of contact interactions. These results were used, for example, by A.Ia. Shtaerman.10 Using the new mathematical
apparatus, V.A. Florin proposed an approximate solution of the contact problem for a punch rigidly connected with the
base.11 The results in the field of integral transforms obtained by I.N. Sneddon12 gave another important mathematical
tool. They allowed one to solve complex boundary value problems of elasticity.
New mathematical methods allowed one to carry out investigations in continuum mechanics, elasticity theory, and, in
particular, contact interaction mechanics. Therefore, in the middle of the 20th century, there appeared a large number

SPECIAL ISSUE PAPER
... In previous works (see, for example, [1][2][3]), similar problems about the interaction of rigid dies and flat bases with coatings were posed and solved. In papers [4,5] considered cases about the interaction of a bush and a pipe with an external coating. ...
... It is necessary to use a similar approach under the assumption that the right side of the equation (2) is given. Since the functions L(u) for the plane problem from [3] and for the present problem for two-layer pipe have the same properties and asymptotics, the properties of the kernels for both problems will be the same. ...
... Solutions obtained by other known methods (disregarding the presence of complex functions in the equation) lead to significant errors in numerical calculations. A detailed analysis of proposed approach used for problem of interaction of plane layer with coating and rigid punch was carried out in paper [3]. ...
Conference Paper
This work is devoted to the formulation and construction of an analytical solution for the problem of contact between a cylindrical viscoelastic aging pipe with an internal thin coating and an insert with a complex shape placed inside the pipe with an interference fit. In practice, the presence of such a coatings is required, for example, for protection of the main construction from aggressive external or internal media, for its electrical insulation, etc. Due to manufacturing processes, this internal coating may be nonuniform (its properties depend on coordinates). An insert placed inside a pipe can have a complex profile described by a rapidly changing function. Taking into account such a features is important when analyzing the stress-strain state of pipe with internal coating. Using an approach based on the use of special basis functions and the form of a solution, a representation for the contact stresses in a pipe in the region of a rigid insert is obtained. It allow one to single out the functions describing the properties of the inner coating and the shape of the outer profile of the insert in the form of individual terms and factors in the expression for the contact stresses in the region of the insert. Therefore, it will be sufficient to restrict ourselves to a relatively small number of terms in the series to achieve high accuracy in calculations.
... Here E0 is some dimensional constant, and I is identity operator. It is easy to show that the kernel kc(s) and the function L(u) form formulas (1), (2) has same properties and asymptotics as a kpl(s) and L(u) for plane problem from [3][4][5][6] or kcyl(s) and L(u) for cylindrical problem from [7,8], i.e. ...

Contact problem for viscoelastic aging pipe with a longitudinally nonuniform thin elastic internal coating and a rigid cylindrical insert is considered in the paper. The basic integral equation with integral operators of different types (mixed integral equation) is given. It's analytical solution for contact stresses in insert area is presented. The solution is constructed in such a way that the function describing the inner coating nonuniformity is distinguished by a separate factor. This fact allows one to perform accurate calculations even in cases where the coating properties are described by rapidly changing and even discontinuous functions. Other known analytical methods do not allow one achieving such a results.
... 47 This work is a continuation of the research that was reflected in previous articles. 45,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] It is devoted to the construction of an analytical solution for the problem of the interaction of a strip with a multilayer nonuniform coating and a system of rigid punches. ...

The article deals with the most general formulation of the problem of the interaction of a system of rigid punches and a viscoelastic aging foundation covered by several different nonuniform thin layers of variable thickness. It is shown that the mathematical model of such a problem is a system of mixed integral equations with additional integral conditions. On the basis of a special approach described in present article, an analytical solution is obtained in series for various versions of the problem statement. It is indicated that the obtained solution representation is effective even in the case when the properties of the coating layers and the shape of the contacting surfaces are described by complex functions.
... The solution of such a problem is reduced to the solution of a mixed integral equation [3]. It is built using special approaches similar to those used in the articles [4][5][6] in which solutions for contact problems for a layer with a coating with complex shape or properties was constructed. ...

This work is devoted to the formulation and search of an analytical solution for the problem of the interaction of a rigid cylindrical body and a pipe with an inner coating in the case when the cylinder is placed inside such a pipe. It is assumed that the pipe coating can have a strong nonuniformity, and its thickness depends on the longitudinal coordinate. A special approach used in this work allows obtaining analytical solutions in which functions related to the properties and profile of the coating are separated by separate terms and factors. This allows us to provide efficient calculations even in cases where coating characteristics are described by complex functions. Other known methods lead to significant calculation errors.
Chapter
A piezoelectric waveguide, consisting of two layers rigidly connected to each other along non-smooth surfaces, is modeled as a three-layer sandwich with an internal periodically inhomogeneous thin layer. Taking into account the periodicity of the inhomogeneity of the simulated waveguide, in order to study the propagation of normal waves in it, according to the Lyapunov–Floquet theory, the boundary value problem of electro elasticity is solved by the width of the formed periodic cell. The systems of quasi-static equations of electroacoustics are solved in the rectangular-shaped virtual cuts formed in two main homogeneous piezoelectric layers. In the newly formed rectangles of the inner inhomogeneous thin layer, hypothetical solutions are constructed, taking into account the hypothetical inhomogeneity of the material both over the thickness of this layer and its periodicity along the waveguide. In the case of particular longitudinal inhomogeneities of the inner layer, the propagation of a high-frequency electroacoustic signal of antiplane deformation, when the length of the short-wavelength signal is comparable to the linear dimensions of the surface roughness, is studied. The regions of permissible lengths of a propagating wave in a periodic structure are determined. A dispersion equation is obtained for the propagation of a normal electroacoustic signal in a composite waveguide. A strong localization of wave energy near an inhomogeneous junction of piezoelectric layers is revealed. It is shown that the seam along the surface roughness of the layers can become a harvester for a wave energy in a composite waveguide.
Chapter
The article describes the construction of a solution for the problem of the interaction of a viscoelastic aging pipe with an internal thin elastic coating and several different rigid cylindrical inserts, assuming that the profiles of the contacting surfaces are described by rapidly changing functions. The solution method used makes it possible to construct a solution that takes into account both the rheological properties of the pipe and the complex profiles of bodies. Using this method, expressions are obtained for contact pressures in which the features are highlighted by separate terms and multipliers, which allows real calculations to be performed with high accuracy even when holding a small number of members of an infinite series.

A relatively simple mathematical model is proposed and developed that allows using additive process mechanics approaches to trace the evolution of technological stress fields in cylindrical composites during their manufacture by slow multi-layer winding of fibre-reinforced material with an arbitrary variation in the pre-tension force and fibre packing density. The constructed closed analytical dependences make it possible to state problems on controlling the distributions of these stresses.

A mathematical model of quasi-statics of accreted deformable solids is proposed for the mechanical analysis of technological processes of slow multilayer power winding of a thin sheet onto the outer side surface of a sufficiently rigid circular mould made in advance. By using the analytical dependences obtained in the framework of this model, two problems of different type on the technological control of the characteristics of the formed product stress state developing during the winding process are formulated and analytically solved. In these problems, setting appropriate programs for changing in course of this process the thickness of the wound sheet and the tension force applied to it is used as the controlling impact.

It is assumed that thin coating consists of several different elastic layers. The rigidity of the each layer depends on longitudial coordinate and can be described by own rapidly changing function. We obtain basic integral equation and additional conditions for this problem. The analytic solution of the problem is presented.

We study the contact interaction between a system of rigid annular punches and a viscoelastic two-layer foundation. The upper layer is thin compared with the punch width. We study the case where the punch shapes are described by a rapidly varying functions. We use special methods for constructing the solutions, because the standard methods are inefficient.

We study plane problems on the interaction of surface nonuniformageing viscoelastic bases with regular finite systems of rigid flat punches. One has to take into account the age and structure nonuniformity of solids due to additive manufacturing processes. Such nonuniformities can be described by rapidly changing and even discontinuous functions. The surface nonuniformity of a coating usually results from a process in which the coating is continuously deposited to the main layer and also from surface treatment of already applied coatings (laser treatment, ion implantation, etc.). Surface nonuniformity can also be caused by the use of various materials when manufacturing the coating. The class of problems in question arises in particular when dealing with erection of structure complexes on bases and foundations, when determining the admissible tilt angle of objects erected in close proximity to each other, or when reinforcing engineering or civil engineering structures.

Chapter summaries for "Computational Contact Mechanics" by P. Wriggers 2nd edition, Springer Verlag, 2006 Chapter 2: Introduction to Contact Mechanics The basic methodology and di�culties related to contact mechanics are discussed in this introductory chapter by means of simple contact problems. This includes besides the general formulation also algorithmic implications. All examples are one-dimensional and stem from di�erent areas like static, thermal or dynamic processes. Key words: introduction, one-dimensional problems, contact, impact. Chapter 3: Continuum Solid Mechanics and Weak Forms This chapter summarizes the main equations which govern the nonlinear deformation of solids. This includes the description of basic kinematical relations for large deformations, the statement of equations of balance and several constitutive equations. Furthermore weak forms and linearizations are presented which are needed within the algorithmic treatment of the nonlinear continuum formulation. Key words: Solid mechanics, kinematics, balance laws, constitutive equations, weak forms, large deformations, linearizations. Chapter 4: Contact kinematics The kinematical relations need special treatment in case of contact. For this one has to formulate the constraint equations for normal contact as well for tangential contact. This chapter treats contact kinematics for small and �finite deformations. For this a distance or gap function is de�ned which leads to the classical non-penetration condition. Furthermore the relative tangential movement between two deformable bodies is described together with a computation of the frictional path length. Key words: gap, normal contact, tangential contact, constraint equations, frictional path. Chapter 5: Constitutive Equations for Contact Interfaces Two main lines can be followed to impose contact conditions in normal direction: (1) the formulation of the non-penetration condition as a purely geometrical constraint (the normal contact stresses follow then from the constraint equation) and (2) the development of constitutive laws for the micromechanical approach within the contact area which yields a response function for the normal stresses. For the tangential direction one has the same situation for stick in the contact interface where either (1) a geometrical constraint equation can be formulated or a (2) constitutive law for the tangential relative micro displacements between the contacting bodies can be used. For tangential sliding between the bodies constitutive equations for friction are derived based on an evolution equation. All di�fferent approaches and associated relations are discussed in this chapter. Key words: non-penetration condition, micromechanical approach, constitutive contact laws, stick, sliding, evolution equations. Chapter 6: Contact Boundary Value Problem and Weak Form The additional terms due to contact when formulating the general contact boundary value problem are discussed in detail in this chapter. This results in non-linear boundary value problems for which { in view of the �nite element method { also weak formulations have to be developed. for contact problems. The main concern of this chapter is the incorporation of the constraint equations formulated for frictionless contact and of interface laws related to stick and sliding in the contact interface. However one of the major problems in contact mechanics is the non-di�erentiability of normal contact and friction terms. To overcome these di�fficulties di�erent formulations are developed. Key words: weak form, frictionless contact, stick, sliding, non-di�fferentiability, contact formulations. Chapter 7: Discretization of the Continuum The discretization of the domain contributions of the bodies being in contact is treated in this chapter for problems undergoing large strains. The use of isoparametric elements is discussed for formulations with respect to the initial and current con�guration of the bodies. For these all matrices and vectors are defi�ned, needed to compute the residuals and the tangent sti�ness matrices of the discretized continua. Key words: initial con�guration, current con�guration, Chapter 8: Discretization, Small Deformation Contact For the case of two deformable bodies being in contact the contact discretization is derived in this chapter. For this purpose di�erent possible formulations are discussed including node-to-node contact, isoparametric discretizations with surface-to-surface contact and segment-to-segment contact. For the latter mortar and the Nietsche method are introduced. Key words: contact discretization, node-to-node contact, surface-to-surface contact, segment-to-segment contact, mortar method, Nietsche method. Chapter 9: Discretization, Large Deformation Contact In this section the discretization techniques for large deformation contact are discussed. Here sliding of a contacting node or element over several elements of the other body is allowed. To describe such process properly a master-slave concept in the current con�guration is introduced. The master segment will be a line in two-dimensional situations and a surface in three-dimensional contact problems. Discretizations are based on the isoparametric concept and on descriptions of the contact surfaces by C1-continuous approximations. Furthermore, mortar discretization schemes are developed. Key words: isoparametric formulation, large deformation, master-slave concept, C1-continuous discretization, moratr method. Chapter 10: Solution Algorithms In this chapter the algorithms which are essential for the treatment of contact problems are considered. These are applied to the discretized problem which are derived using the formulations in the previous chapters. The algorithms include general contact detection, local gap computations, general solution procedures and local integration of interface laws. For these procedures di�erent possibilities are discussed in the light of robustness and e�ciency. Key words: contact detection, integration of interface laws, general solution procedures, robustness, e�ciency. Chapter 11: Thermo-Mechanical Contact In case of thermo-mechanical contact problems two �elds { deformation and temperature { interact and thus have to be considered within the formulation. In the general setting these �elds are coupled since the constitutive parameters depend on the temperature. Furthermore the evolution of the thermal �field is related to the deformation and heat can be generated by dissipative mechanisms like plastic deformations or frictional forces. For simulations in this area the �finite element discretizations is developed as well as the associated algorithms based on staggered schemes. Key words: thermo-mechanical contact, coupled �elds, staggered schemes, temperature, frictional dissipation. Chapter 12: Beam Contact In this chapter engineering problems which involve contact of beams undergoing large displacement are discussed. The beams can be either in contact in the initial con�guration or get into contact during the motion. Hence special relations for kinematics and constitutive behavior at the contact interface have to be formulated for beam contact. These are derived and also presented in matrix form for the discretization process. Special search procedures are developed. Key words: beam contact, large displacements, search procedures. Chapter 13: Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Contact Problems This chapter is related to a method in the area of �nite element techniques which ensures a successive improvement of the numerical solution via an adaptive mesh re�nement. Here di�erent error estimation techniques are discussed for contact problems which include residual based and dual error estimation as well as Zienkiewicz, Zhu error indication procedures. Adaptive mesh re�nement strategies are discussed for frictionless and frictional contact problems. The latter include also history data transfer techniques. Key words: transfer of history data, adaptive �nite element methods, error estimators, error indicators, frictionless contact, frictional contact. Chapter 14: Computation of Critical Points with Contact Constraints Post-critical behavior of contact problems is studied in this chapter. In this case classical path-following algorithms with branch-switching and contact formulations have to be modi�ed and combined since constraints associated with contact are inequalities. Here �rst a general formulation of the problem is given. After that special algorithms based on the direct computation of critical point are applied. Key words: post-critical behavior, critical points, branch-switching, path- following methods, direct computation of critical points.

Conference Paper
The axisymmetric contact problem with fretting wear for an elastic foundation with a longitudinally nonuniform (surface nonuniform) coating and a rigid punch with a rough foundation has been solved for the first time. The case of linear wear is considered. The nonuniformity of the coating and punch roughness are described by a different rapidly changing functions. This strong nonuniformity arises when coatings are deposited using modern additive manufacturing technologies. The problem is reduced the solution of an integral equation with two different integral operators: a compact self-adjoint positively defined operator with respect to the coordinate and the non-self-adjoint integral Volterra operator with respect to time. The solution is obtained in series using the projection method of the authors. The efficiency of the proposed approach for constructing a high-accuracy approximate solution to the problem (with only a few expansion terms retained) is demonstrated.
