Abstract

All problems of non-linear creep are very difficult. We have developed an approximate approach to solve the contact problems of power-law creep in the case, when one of bodies in contact is a rigid punch with corners and the other one - thin deformable layer or half-space. The main merit of this approach consists in the simpliciy of calculations and in the clearity of assumptions. First of all the local problem of contact between a rigid corner and creeping half-space is investigated. It is similar to the old one of Cherepanov - Rice - Hutchinson for a crack. Hence we have the stress-strain state near the punch corner in function of one free parameter. Internal solution for a thin layer has been found by asymptotic analysis, for a half-space - by Arutyunyan’s technics, both also as functions of another free parameter. The size of boundary layer may be regarded as a third free parameter. The integral equilibrum condition and the claim of continuity of main contact problem characteristics give a non-linear algebraic equation to determine free constants by calculations. Its solution may be given by explicit formulae in particular cases. Besides mentioned problems, a periodical problem, modeling the forming by poinsoning of a plate with ribes, has been solved. Moreover, we have completely studied as a separed situation the local solution near a creeping edge tip (arbitrary angle, various boundary conditions), and we have found the internal asymptotics for a thin layer of Nadai or of Imbert materials.
