The problem of an infinitely long rigid punch of uniform cross-section moving across a viscoelastic half-space at constant velocity, large enough so that inertial effects cannot be neglected, is examined and solved in various approximations. Frictional shear is assumed to exist between the punch and the half-space. The method, which is an extension of that developed in previous papers [6, 7], is applicable for any form of viscoelastic behaviour in the half-space. For the special case of discrete spectrum behaviour the method is described in detail. For the case where the punch is cylindrical and viscoelastic effects are small compared with elastic effects, explicit expressions are given for all quantities of interest, in particular the coefficient of hysteretic friction. A general Hilbert transform formula is derived in the appendix.
