Abstract

We consider the plane contact problem of elasticity concerning the interaction between an absolutely rigid cylinder and the internal cylindrical surface of the cylindrical base, which consists of two circular cylindrical layers with different elastic constants. The base external surface is fixed, the layers are rigidly connected with each other, and the friction forces are absent in the contact region. Such problems sufficiently well model the operation of a composite cylindrical slider bearing, especially in the case of loads for which the angular dimension of the contact site is commensurable with the bearing width and the moduli of the insert liner and of the support are different and significantly less than the modulus of elasticity of the other details of the bearing.

For the above-stated problem of elasticity, we first construct integral equations, which are solved by the direct collocation method [1, 2] and by the asymptotic method [3, 4].

In contrast to the similar problems considered earlier (e.g., see [3, 4]) for a single-layer cylinder, the collocation method used here permits studying the problem practically for any parameter values. The asymptotic approach gives an efficient solution in the case of relatively thin layers in simple analytic form. We also compare the two solutions numerically and determine the scope of the asymptotic method.
