A Cauchy type integral operator is associated to a class of integrable vector fields with complex coefficients. Properties of the integral operator are used to deduce Holder solvability of semilinear equations and a strong similarity principle is established.
We study the distribution of interfacial separations P(u) at the contact region between two elastic solids with randomly rough surfaces. An analytical expression is derived for P(u) using Persson's theory of contact mechanics, and is compared to numerical solutions obtained using (a) a half-space method based on the Boussinesq equation, (b) a Green's function molecular dynamics technique and (c) smart-block classical molecular dynamics. Overall, we find good agreement between all the different approaches.
