This involved the determination of complex stress functions required to compute stresses in terms of a set of unknown coefficients for the specified displacement expressions satisfying the prescribed boundary conditions. The assumed Coulomb friction between the plate and the pin was used to provide the solution and iteration was also used to determine the extent of contact region.
