Applying the method of dimensionality reduction to calculate the friction force between a rotationally symmetric indenter and a viscoelastic half-space

Аннотация

The method of dimensionality reduction is applied to the tangential contact between an elastomer and a rotationally symmetric indenter. The resulting equations are solved analytically, and numerical methods are discussed. The dependence of the normal and tangential force on the indentation depth and velocity is indicated.
