“…Successful attempts were made in [ 17 , 33 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ] to apply it to consider the influence of various physical and contact nonlinearities in the antiplane problem of elasticity theory for two compressed half-spaces with interfacial defects. The frictional slip with possible heat generation for contacting bodies [ 34 , 44 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ] and the boundary element approach [ 50 , 51 , 52 ] were also considered here. Inhomogeneity of the mechanical properties of structural materials can be both designed for a specific purpose (FGM) and a consequence of technological processes of obtaining new materials and their processing (FSW, ball-burnishing process, etc.)…”
