VRBIK Received 24 November 2002 The present paper examines the contact problem related to shear punch through a rigid strip bonded to a nonhomogeneous medium. The nonhomogeneous medium is bonded to another nonhomogeneous medium. The strip is perpendicular to the y -axis and parallel to the x-axis. It is assumed that there is perfect bonding at the common plane surface of two nonhomogeneous media. Using Fourier cosine trans- forms, the solution of the problem is reduced to dual integral equations involving trigonometric cosine functions. Later on, the solution of the dual integral equa- tions is transformed into the solution of a system of two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Solving numerically the Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, the numerical results of resultant contact shear are obtained and graphically displayed to demonstrate the effect of nonhomogeneity of the elastic material. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 45B05, 74B05, 45F10, 33C10. 1. Introduction. In practical applications, the material nonhomogeneity be- comes an important factor to be considered, particularly, in the certain class of problems such as the foundation and contact problems in soil mechanics and wave propagation problems in the mechanics. In solid mechanics, many of the engineering materials, such as composites and large variety of bonded ma- terial and structural components, are generally modeled as nonhomogeneous continua. An example of a material with these properties is shale-sandstone. There are some important applications in ceramic coating of metal substrates and in metal-c
