Approximated Analytical Solution of a Problem on Indentation of an Electro-Elastic Half-Space with Inhomogeneous Coating by a Conductive Punch

Abstract

The paper addresses to the development of the bilateral asymptotic method of solution of contact problems taking into account electro-mechanical fields coupling. Approximated analytical solutions are provided for contact problems on indentation of an electroelastic piezoelectric half-space with inhomogeneous in depth piezoelectric coating by a rigid conductive circular flat, spherical or conical punch.
