An axisymmetric, fractionally non-linear contact problem for an elastic sphere with a priori unknown boundary of the contact area is considered. An integral equation for determining the density of the contact pressures is constructed taking account of the shear displacements of the boundary points o

β¦ Synopsis
Paper concerns the Boussinesq and Reissner-Sagoci contact problems for a rigid punch in contact with the plane face of an isotropic elastic half-space over a circular annulus b-< r-< a. It is shown that a simple combination of the interior and exterior Dirichlet and Neumann solutions for a circle, when expressed in terms of oblate spheriodal coordinates, yields extremely accurate approximate solutions provided that O<-b/a <_0.8.
