Figure 34b: Influence <strong>of</strong> friction on the vertical stress at the top <strong>of</strong> bottom layer under the wheel<br />

centre (please note that Poisson’s ratio is 0.5).<br />

As one will observe, the presence <strong>of</strong> friction has a significant influence on the radial (horizontal)<br />

stress at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the top layer especially at low values for the ratio E1 / E2. We also note<br />

that the influence on the vertical stress is much smaller.<br />

If there is full friction or full bond at the interface, the following conditions are satisfied.<br />
