Three Dimensional Contact Problem of a Rigid Ring Bonded to an Elastic Hollow Cylinder

Abstract

Stress state in an elastic hollow cylinder reinforced with a rigid ring is considered within the framework of the three dimensional elasticity theory. Perfect bond between the cylinder and the ring is assumed and satisfaction of the mixed boundary conditions through the method of Fourier transforms then leads to two pairs of dual integral equations which are reduced to an infinite set of algebraic equations. Comparing the present solutions with those of a frictionless bonded contact problem, authors examined the effects of the presence of friction on the stress distributions.
