Axisymmetric Problem of Fretting Wear for a Foundation with a Nonuniform Coating and Rough Punch

The axisymmetric contact problem with fretting wear for an elastic foundation with a longitudinally nonuniform (surface nonuniform) coating and a rigid punch with a rough foundation has been solved for the first time. The case of linear wear is considered. The nonuniformity of the coating and punch roughness are described by a different rapidly changing functions. This strong nonuniformity arises when coatings are deposited using modern additive manufacturing technologies. The problem is reduced the solution of an integral equation with two different integral operators: a compact self-adjoint positively defined operator with respect to the coordinate and the non-self-adjoint integral Volterra operator with respect to time. The solution is obtained in series using the projection method of the authors. The efficiency of the proposed approach for constructing a high-accuracy approximate solution to the problem (with only a few expansion terms retained) is demonstrated.
