Abstract
The linear elastic problem involving the indentation of a compressible rubberlike layer bonded to a rigid cylinder and indented by another rigid cylinder is analyzed by the boundary element method. For the same contact width, the pressure at the contact surface is found to depend noticeably upon the thickness of the layer and the Poisson ratio of the material of the layer. Results computed and presented graphically include the pressure distribution over the contact surface, the shape of the indented surface and the stress distribution at the bond surface.
