“…Specifically, plane and axisymmetric problems for a rigid punch indented in a half-plane/halfspace with a coating made of functionally graded material have been considered in purely elastic formulation [5][6][7][8][9][10], in thermo-elastic formulation [11][12][13][14][15], in electro-elastic formulation [16,17], in magneto-electro-elastic formulation [18,19], in viscoelastic formulation [20], etc. A frictional contact have been studied [12,17,19,21,22], where the case of thermo-frictional heat generation was considered [12,17,19], the case of wear was studied [23], etc. Plane contact of two elastic solids with functionally graded coatings has been investigated [25][26][27].…”
