Abstract : This article is concerned with the contact mechanics of a functionally graded layer loaded by a frictional sliding flat punch. The coefficient of friction is assumed to be constant and the lower side of the graded layer is firmly attached to a rigid foundation. The graded, nonhomogeneous property of the medium is represented in terms of an exponential variation of the shear modulus, while Poisson¡¯s ratio is taken to be constant. Based on the use of plane elasticity equations and the Fourier integral transform technique, the formulation of the current contact mechanics problem lends itself to a Cauchy-type singular integral equation of the second kind for the unknown contact pressure, which is solved numerically. As a result, the effects of several parameters, i.e., the material nonhomogeneity, the friction coefficient, the punch width, and Poisson¡¯s ratio, on the distributions of the contact pressure and the in-plane surface stress component are presented.
