Contact Problem in Decagonal Two-Dimensional Quasicrystal

As a new structure of solid matter quasicrystal brings profound new ideas to the traditional condensed matter physics, its elastic equations are more complicated than that of traditional crystal. A contact problem of decagonal two? dimensional quasicrystal material under the action of a rigid flat die is solved satisfactorily by introducing displacement function and using Fourier analysis and dual integral equations theory, and the analytical expressions of stress and displacement fields of the contact problem are achieved. The results show that if the contact displacement is a constant in the contact zone, the vertical contact stress has order -1/2 singularity on the edge of contact zone, which provides the important mechanics parameter for contact deformation of the quasicrystal.
