The Sliding of a Rigid Indentor over a Power Law Viscoelastic Layer.

Abstract

The problem of the sliding of a rigid asperity over a power law viscoelastic layer is examined in the realistic limit of infinite (dimensionless) layer thickness. For a contact interval of unit length, asymptotic expansions for the normal traction over the interval together with several other physically relevant quantities (e.g. the friction coefficient) are developed in term of an appropriate asymptotic sequence of powers of the (dimensionless) layer thickness.
