Gladwell, G. M. L. On contact problems for a medium with rigid flat inclusions of arbitrary shape. (English) Zbl 0865.73052 Int. J. Solids Struct. 32, No. 3-4, 383-389 (1995). Summary: Consider the elasto-static problem in which the contact between two compressed dissimilar elastic half-spaces is perturbed by disc inclusions of various constant thicknesses, but arbitrary shapes. We show that the interfacial normal displacement is zero where the half-spaces are in contact, and present some generalizations of the result.
