A problem of adhesive contact between the running surface wave and a rigid strip is investigated. The mixed boundary-value problem of elastodynamics is reduced to a singular integral equation for a complex combination of stresses and an exact closed-form solution of it has been derived. Analysis of variation of contact area dimensions, stress distribution and rotor velocity on the frequency of excitation displayed significant differences between the results corresponding to conditions of adhesion and slipping in contact area. The origin of these differences is discussed.
