Overview: A systematic treatment, based on Green‘s functions and integralequations, is given to the analytical and numerical methods andresults for a great number of 3-D contact problems for elastic bodies.Semi-bounded elastic bodies (layer, cylinder, space with cylindricalor spherical cavity, 3-D wedge, special cases of which are half- andquarter-spaces, cone) and finite elastic bodies (circular plate,finite cylinder, spherical layer, spherical lens, sphere) areconsidered. Methods introduced in the book can also be applied infracture mechanics, hydrodynamics, electrostatics, thermodynamics an
