Abstract In this paper, we extend our previous analysis of a contact problem with a circular indenter pressed normally against a semi-infinite elastic composite to that of a semi-infinite viscoelastic composite which consists of a contact layer with uniform thickness welded together with another dissimilar medium. Using the correspondence principle between the Laplace transformed elastic equations and the viscoelastic ones, the asymptotic results derived previously for the pure elastic case are readily adopted for the viscoelastic one with the elastic constants replaced by appropriate functions of Laplace transformed variables for the linear viscoelastic solid.
