A sequential linear programming method is developed for contour design of elastic bodies to minimize contact stresses when two bodies are pressed together by extrenally applied loads. Constraints on the amount of acceptable contour modification are imposed, based on kinematic functions to be performed by the two mating bodies. The teachique is illustrated through solution of a simple example and a more practical bearing contact design problem.
