By applying the line integral of Barnett–Lothe tensors on oblique planes, the three-dimensional rough surface contact problem for a semi-infinite anisotropic elastic half-plane in contact with a rough rigid sphere is formulated. The conjugate gradient technique of analytical continuation was employed to determine the contact parameters. The general solutions due to varying degrees of anisotropy and mechanical boundary conditions are obtained, and examples with fiber-reinforced composites are presented.
