Abstract:
The linear contact problem for a system of small punches located periodically on a part of the boundary of an elastic foundation is studied. An averaged contact problem is derived using the Marchenko–Khruslov averaging theory. An asymptotic formula is obtained for the translational capacity of a smooth punch with a fine-grained flat base.
