Contact problems for elastic stripes have been well studied and published in domestic scientific literature. This is partly due to the fact that normative documents on foundation structure it recommended use this model simulation of a “structure – soil foundation” system. Two variants boundary conditions at contact between half-strip rigid non-deformable base are usually considered. The first c...

The initial stage of fretting fatigue crack growth is significantly influenced by tangential force induced by fretting action along the contact surface where a mixed-mode crack growth is involved. Fretting crack behavior of aluminum alloy 2024 was studied, taking into account the problem of contact asperities. Finite element was used for the determination of the stress field near the contact su...
