Contact vibration analysis of the functionally graded material coated half-space under a rigid spherical punch

This paper studies the contact vibration problem of an elastic half-space coated with functionally graded materials(FGMs)subject to a rigid spherical punch.A static force superimposing a dynamic time-harmonic force acts on the rigid spherical punch.Firstly,we give the static contact problem of FGMs by a least-square fitting approach.Next,the dynamic contact pressure is solved by employing the perturbation method.Lastly,the dynamic contact stiffness with different dynamic contact displacement conditions is derived for the FGM coated half-space.The effects of the gradient index,coating thickness,internal friction,and punch radius on the dynamic contact stiffness factor are discussed in detail.
