Contact problems arise in a variety of industrial processes, engineering and biomechanical systems. 3-D contact problem for a rigid punch with a doubly connected base bounded by the lines close to rectangles is in consideration. An analytic-numerical technique is developed for its solving. The problem contains Fredholm integral equations of the first kind, which are transformed into the second kind by means of regularization. Using the simple layer potential expansion, the kernels of the integrals are presented in the form of expansions in the powers of the polar radius. The difference between the values of the desired function at different points and the subsequent interpolation of the terms are proposed to smooth the kernels and eliminate singularities. The integral equations are reduced to one-dimension and then solved using quadrature formulas. Subsequently a punch shape is taken as a desired function, and as a minimizing functional is considered the root-mean-square deviation of the pressure distribution arising under the punch from some optimal distribution. In this case, the values of the total forces and moments applied to the punch are assumed to be given, which leads to restrictions imposed on the distributions by the equilibrium conditions. The normal displacements are determined which arising under the action of the found contact pressure on the elastic half-space. The desired punch shape is found using the simple layer potential. A solution to the problem is obtained for the punch with the doubly connected base bounded by lines close to rectangles.
Design of foundations on an elastic base is carried out using the solution of three-dimensional problems of contact interaction. Improving the accuracy of engineering calculations is necessary to ensure economic efficiency and increase energy savings in green building. The problems of indentation of punches with a flat base bounded by doubly connected close to polygonal contact areas are researched in the present work. Small parameter method is used to obtain explicit analytical expressions for the contact pressure distribution and the punch displacement dependence in a simplified form, which is convenient for engineering practice. The found load-displacement dependence satisfies the known inequalities that are valid for an arbitrary contact domain. Also a numerical-analytical method is in consideration. It uses the simple layer potential expansion and successive approximations for the problems accounting roughness of the elastic half-space. Roughness coefficient is considered as a parameter of regularization of the integral equation for the smooth contact problem. The results of both methods coincide with sufficient accuracy.
The objective is to optimize the pressure distribution under a rigid punch having a doubly connected contact domain close to a circular ring and interacting with an elastic half-space. The required design variable is the punch shape. The functional to be minimized is the root-mean-square deviation of the pressure distribution from some given distribution. An analytical technique is developed for solving the problem for the punches with doubly connected shape, by reducing to a sequence of similar problems for the circular ring punches using expansions of the simple layer potential. The method of expansion in terms of a small parameter is used. The simple layer potential expansion is proposed when mapping a doubly connected integration domain onto a circular ring by transforming the integration variables and transforming the coordinates of the pole of the kernel. As a result, a sequence of similar problems was obtained for a circular ring to determine the functions characterizing the distribution of normal pressure under the punch in the form of a non-circular ring, as well as the normal displacements, from where the optimal punch shape is determined.
