The elliptical Hertzian contact of transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic bodies

Abstract

First, the general solution for transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic media is given concisely in form of five harmonic functions. Second, the extended Boussinesq and Cerruti solutions for the magnetoelectroelastic half-space are obtained in terms of elementary functions by utilizing this general solution. Third, the coupled fields for elliptical Hertzian contact of magnetoelectroelastic bodies are solved in smooth and frictional cases. At last, the graphic results are presented.
