This paper presents a comparative study of analytical method, finite element method (FEM)
and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for analysis of a contact problem. The problem consists of a …

The aim of this paper was to examine the continuous and discontinuous contact problems
between the functionally graded (FG) layer pressed with a uniformly distributed load and …

Functionally graded materials (FGM) are composite materials formed of two or more
constituent phases with a continuously variable distribution. The variations in the phase …

In this study, the continuous and discontinuous contact problems of functionally graded (FG)
layer resting on a rigid foundation were considered. The top of the FG layer was loaded by a …

The problem of a rigid punch contacting with a finite graded layer on a rigid substrate is
investigated within the framework of steady-state plane strain thermoelasticity, in which heat …

In this study moving contact problem for a rigid cylindrical punch and a functionally graded
layer is considered. The punch subjected to concentrated normal force, and moves steadily …

The frictional receding contact problem for two graded layers pressed by a rigid punch is
considered in this paper. The punch is subjected to both normal and tangential loads …

A theoretical frictional contact model of thermoelectric materials with nonlinear
thermoelectric coupling loaded by a sliding punch is considered in which the punch is also …

This paper investigates the two-dimensional frictionless contact problem of a functionally
graded magneto-electro-elastic materials (FGMEEMs) layered half-plane under a rigid flat or …

Contact problems involving deformable bodies are widespread in both industrial and
everyday situations. They have a crucial impact on structural and mechanical systems …
