Thank you all for your help.

Dear Marian,

You may find a recent ASME paper on "Revisiting the Cattaneo–Mindlin Concept of Interfacial Slip in Tangentially Loaded Compliant Bodies" the most relevant to your question.

You cam find this paper here (Transactions of the ASME, 2010, Vol. 132)

http://www.academia.edu/668032/Revisiting_the_Cattaneo-Mindlin_Concept_of_Interfacial_Slip_in_Tangentially_Loaded_Compliant_Bodies

In the absence of modern numerical techniques several simplifying assumptions were required by Mindlin. These assumptions include: perfectlyelastic bodies, discontinuous contact condition, which transfersfrom perfect slip during the normal loading into full stick prior toapplying the tangential loading, neglecting the effect of the tan-gential loading on the contact area and contact pressure distribu-tion produced by the normal load, a local Coulomb friction lawthat limits the shear stress at the contact interface, and limitingany slip between the contacting bodies to their contact interfaceonly.

In the ASME paper, some recent theoretical models, which are based on this earlier alternative approach,and in which the simplifying assumptions of the Cattaneo–Mindlin concept were completely relaxed, are described along with their experimental verification. It is shown that the presliding problem between contacting bodies can be accurately solved by these models using realistic physical assumptions and failure criterion.

In addition, you may ask the author, who cited Midline 1949 paper, for the source file you need.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you very much Yeping.

Hi Marian,

I found a review paper on "Contact modeling — forces" by G.G. Adams, M. Nosonovsky is relevent to answer your question as well. See the weblink below:

http://www.ewp.rpi.edu/hartford/~ernesto/F2008/EP/Materials4Students/Loiselle/Adams.pdf

It reviews contact modeling with an emphasis on the forces of contact and their relationship to the geometrical, material and mechanical properties of the contacting bodies, and including reviews on experimental investigations as well as the

dynamics and associated instabilities of sliding contact.

Cheers

Hi,

I have a later paper on the subject by Mindlin & Deresiewicz (1953). Are you interested?

Regards,

Anton

Thank you Anton and apologies for a delay. A pdf would be perfect :)

Best wishes

Marian. 

HI, Marian 

I am also looking for the paper"Compliance of Elastic Bodies in Contact" by MIndlin, 

Did you get the pdf ?

If you get one, would you please send me a copy to [email protected]?

Thank you very much

P.S. I have got that paper.

I would also appreciate if I can receive a copy of  Mindlin & Deresiewicz (1953). Thank you in advance for the same.

Hi Anton,

May I request for the later paper on the subject by Mindlin & Deresiewicz (1953), as you had mentioned? I am interested in the publication. Thank you.

Dear  Anton, 

would you mind sending me the paper from Mindlin and Deresiewicz [1953] "Elastic spheres in contact under varying oblique forces" to [email protected]?

I am interested in this paper. 

Thank you. 

Hello,

I would be interested in getting any of those papers Mindlin (1949) and Mindlin & Deresiewicz (1953). 

If anyone of you has a copy of them could you please send it to me at the following email address:

[email protected]

Thanks

Hello, I also appreciate a copy of those papers for my research. My email is [email protected]. Thank you 

Now it's my to ask for a copy of Mindlin & Deresiewicz (1953) paper. I'd really really appreciate that. Thank you very much.

HI, Marian

Thank you very much

Not yet :)

So that paper was cited 3000 times but nobody can find it... I might just ask my library to order it with inter-library loan!

Dear Louis,

If you managed it to order it somewhere, it would be really kind if you can tell us the library where you found it.

Kind Regards

Marius

Dear all,

I would much appreciate if somebody can send me a copy of "Compliance of elastic bodies in contact", Mindlin (1949) and also the paper mentioned by Anton Manoylov , by Mindlin and Deresiewicz (1953).

Thank you very much for the help.
