Abstract

The construction of (boundary) singular integral equation formulations of contact problems for Kirchhoff (thin) plates is addressed. In particular, the need to forecast the singularity strength of the contact reaction is evidenced. It is shown that, when employing the integral formulation to describe contact problems between Kirchhoff plates and irregular linear supports, the equivalent shear force concept may be incopatible with the integral equation approach. In such circumstances the equivalent shear force concept has to be abandoned in favour of, or coupled with, an equivalent twisting moment approach. These concepts are described and applied to two particular contact problems.
