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 …

Improving mechanical response of materials is of great interest in a wide range of
disciplines, including biomechanics, tribology, geology, optoelectronics, and …

Contact problems are central to Solid Mechanics, because contact is the principal method of
applying loads to a deformable body and the resulting stress concentration is often the most …

The main interest of this study is in the fracture initiation in graded coatings under sliding
contact loading. The structural component under consideration is a metallic substrate …

A multi-layered model for sliding frictional contact analysis of functionally graded materials
(FGMs) with arbitrarily varying shear modulus under plane strain-state deformation has been …

A multi-layered model for frictionless contact analysis of functionally graded materials
(FGMs) with arbitrarily varying elastic modulus under plane strain-state deformation has …

The problem of thermoelastic contact mechanics for the coating/substrate system with
functionally graded properties is investigated, where the rigid flat punch is assumed to slide …

This study investigates the plane frictional contact problem of a cylindrical punch on a
functionally graded orthotropic medium (FGOM). Both analytical and computational methods …

The problem of a rigid punch contacting with a finite graded layer on a rigid substrate is
investigated within the framework of steady-state plane strain thermoelasticity, in which heat …

We consider adhesive contact between a rigid sphere of radius R and a graded elastic half-
space with Young's modulus varying with depth according to a power law E= E0 (z/c0) k (0< …
