I recently encountered the research of Phil Attard and others, in which the contact problem is solved, relaxing the restrictions of the traditional contact models (Hertz, JKR, DMT) and solving based on a formulation where the governing equations are derived using finite-range surface forces and calculated numerically, self-consistently.
