On an integral equation of contact problems of elasticity theory in the presence of abrasive wear (Q1069776)

An algorithm based on the method of matched asymptotic expansions and enabling one to avoid mathematical incorrectness is proposed for solving the integral equations of contact problems taking abrasive wear of the surfaces of contiguous bodies into account. An exact solution is written for the convolution type integral equation of the second kind with a logarithmic kernel in a semi-infinite interval in the class of continuous functions that vanish at infinity.
