An infinite elastic strip is pressed against an elastic half plane of a different material by a steadily moving concentrated force. Using the plane strain theory of elasticity, it is shown that the problem can be decomposed into its symmetric and antisymmetric parts. These mixed boundary-value problems are then solved by reduction to Fredholm integral equations subject to certain other conditions. For various material combinations, and a range of speed, the extent and location of the contact region as well as the contact pressure will be computed and illustrated graphically.

ABSTRACT There are many species of the Eucalyptus genus presents high levels of the growth stress. These stresses are mechanical efforts generated during the tree growth to help maintaining the balance of the cup in response to environmental and silvicultural agents. The stresses are responsible for the cracks of tops and for the warp after unfolding. The objective of this study was to test five different methods to minimize the effects of growth stress on the production of Eucalyptus urophylla sawlogs. The boards produced were then evaluated and measured for cracking, arching, curvature and cupping. The treatment with herbicide presented the smallest medium indexes of cracking (16.63 cm) and of arching (0.23 mm.m-1), while the medium curvature was smaller than observed in boards unfolded in 72 hours after the reduction of the trees (0.88 mm.m-1). Unfolding after ten days of harvesting represented the less efficient technique in the cracking control, curvature and arching. The cupping was not observed during boards processing. The herbicide application was more efficient in the reduction of the effects of the growth tensions.
