Abstract
Contact problems and the study of the load transfer in mechanical assemblages are of great importance in mechanical engineering. Since Hertz1 published his famous work on normal contact between elastic bodies, a century of research work has been performed in this area. The work has been analytical, experimental and numerical. Until now, theoretical results for contact problems have been presented, see Persson2, Kalker3, Sundelius4, Gladwell5, etc. that are of great importance for understanding the nature of contact problems.
