This study investigates the plane frictional contact problem of a cylindrical punch on a functionally graded orthotropic medium (FGOM). Both analytical and computational methods are developed to obtain the contact stresses. The elastic modulus is assumed to vary exponentially and the principal axes of orthotropy are assumed to be aligned with the global coordinates. In the analytical formulation,...
