Abstract

A circular rigid punch is located on a half plane with an oblique edge crack. The punch is acted by a vertical load at its center, and frictional force is assumed to exist on the contact region and applies in the horizontal direction. A pair of concentrated forces is assumed to act at arbitrary point in the half plane. Owing to the existence of the crack, the frictional force and the concentrated forces or point dislocations, the punch is usually inclined and the inclined angle is decided by the condition that the resultant moment about the center on the contact region must be vanished. The punch is supposed to contact with the half plane with two sharp corners at both ends, therefore the length of the contact region has been given. To find the analytical solution of t
