Adhesive contact between two-dimensional anisotropic elastic bodies by Nguyen Dinh Duc, Nguyen Van Thuong

“…The full-field solutions and the relation for the contact region and applied force are developed using the Stroh complex variable formalism, the analytical continuation method, and concepts of the JKR adhesive model. We will show that the frictionless contact of two anisotropic elastic materials is just a special case of the present contact problem, and its solutions can be obtained by setting the work of adhesion equal to zero. …”
