Modelling the contact interaction between rough bodies in the presence of a lubricant (Q1892368)

The axisymmetric problem of the pressure transmission from a circular rigid punch to a linearly deformable foundation through a thin porous elastic layer (coating) adhering to it is studied. The physical and mechanical properties of the coating are described by the equations of Biot's model, while the motion of the viscous compressible fluid inside the pores is governed by Darcy's law of filtration. The problem is reduced to solving an integral equation of the second kind containing Fredholm's operator with respect to the coordinate, and Volterra's operator with respect to time. To solve the problem, the separation of variables algorithm is used together with asymptotic long and short time methods.
