....conditions) or sliding, and they may be subjected simultaneously to both normal and tangential loads. Many aspects of the fracture mechanics are not fully understood. In particular, the patterns of fracturing under partial slip conditions and different loading paths are not well established [20]. The purpose of this paper is to model the indentation fracturing under both full and partial sliding conditions. We formulate a superposition technique by which the elastic contact stress field induced by a spherical indenter can be analytically determined. This allows us to perform a fairly ....

.... shear tractions arise at the contact [25] The shear tractions reduce the maximum tensile stress and increase fracture load for less compliant indenter [26] They may be insignificant compared to the tractions generated due to sliding force unless the mismatch in elastic constants is large [20]. Effects of these shear tractions on stress distribution will be disregarded, but the evaluation of contact area will be done based on actual dissimilar elastic parameters (equations (1) and (3) In subsequent discussions, the parameters E and will be used to denote elastic modulus and ....
