abstract = {I consider the contact mechanics for a layered material,
consisting of an elastically soft film glued to a hard
substrate. I calculate the area of real contact for surfaces
with fractal-like roughness and for surfaces with roughness
in narrow length scale regions. For the fractal-like
surfaces, when the product q0d of the film thickness d and
the low cut-off wavenumber q0 of the surface roughness power
spectrum satisfy q0d < 0.1, the effective modulus becomes
very large. This results in large contact stresses, which
can induce plastic deformation or wear, in particular during
sliding contact. I also calculate the probability
distributions of the normal and tangential stresses at the
film-substrate interface. If the tangential (shear) stress
is too high, the adhesive bond between the film and the
substrate will break. I compare the thin-film contact
mechanics problem with the Gent solution for a thin elastic
sheet confined between two flat solid surfaces, and discuss
the origin of the difference in effective elastic modulus.},
