This paper presents a mathematical model of sliding, adhering contact between a rigid parabolic indenter and a multi-layered elastic solid, which is assumed to comprise of a homogeneous coating bonded through a functionally-graded transitional layer to a homogeneous substrate. The adhesive forces in...
