The stress field in the body by tangential loading of a rectangular patch on a semi-infinite solid has been solved analytically using potential function. The validity of result of this study was proved by Saint-Venant's principle in the remote region and in the vicinity of the surface with superposition of point loads.

In the 3-Dimensional contact of the smooth spheres, the effects of friction on the contact area and the distribution of contact pressure was studied numerically. The contact area and pressure distribution was evaluated for the only normal load and for the case of a normal load in the presence of a tangential traction. To do this work, the technique of simple discretization using the load . displacement relationship for a uniformly distributed load of a rectangular patch was used.

In case of contact fatigue, the accurate calculation of surface tractions and subsurface stress is essential to the predication of crack initiation life. Surface tractions influencing shear stress amplitude have been obtained by contact analysis based on influence function. Subsurface stress has been obtained by using rectangular patch solutions. In this study, to simulate asperity contact under sliding condition, the tip of asperity was simulated by sphere and to calculate crack initiation life in the substrate, dislocation pileup theory was used.
