A review of partial slip solutions for contacts represented by half-planes including bulk tension and moments

Abstract

Solution procedures for establishing the regimes of stick and slip for frictional contacts capable of idealisation within the framework of half-plane elasticity and subject to complex loading regimes are reviewed, starting with the well known fundamental problems and going on to more complicated ones. These include problems where the normal load, shear force, applied moment and differential remote tensions all vary with time. Transient and steady state solutions are discussed.
