This article reviews fretting wear damage in industries and in the contact mechanics of
coated systems. Micro-slip motion resulting in fretting damage is discussed along with major …

Though receding contacts occur in many engineering components, such as bolted joints,
their properties are little understood. Previous studies have shown that the contact area in …

This paper uses a distribution of ring dislocations to find the solution for the frictional
axisymmetric receding contact of a semi-infinite layer pressed against a half-space by a …

This paper attempts to unify the analysis of fretting and damage at the edges of different
classes of contact. Specifically edge asymptotes may be applied, in the same form, to both …

This paper uses a distribution of ring dislocations to find the solution for the frictional
axisymmetric receding contact of a semi-infinite layer pressed against a half-space by a …

This paper proposes a description for the contact behaviour of bolted joints through the
solution of the frictional axisymmetric receding contact of a semi-infinite layer pressed …

This review looks at the basic classes of elastic contacts and provides practical information
about the kind of response which can be expected when loads are applied. Attention is …

A frictional receding contact problem of an infinitely long layer pressed by different finite
pressure distributions onto a half-plane of the same linear elastic material is solved with the …

A fundamental plane frictional receding contact of a thin layer pressed onto a substrate is
solved with the insertion of distributions of dislocations. The new formulation overcomes the …

Contacts are classified into the fundamental types and their characteristics briefly explored.
The formulation of incomplete contacts using a half-plane formulation is then developed …
