In this paper, the axisymmetric torsional problem of a coating structure consisting of a surface coating, a functionally graded layer and a substrate under a rigid cylindrical punch is investigated. The coating and substrate are homogeneous materials with distinct physical properties while the intermediate layer is inhomogeneous with its shear modulus changing exponentially along the thickness direction. The Hankel integral transform technique is employed to reduce the torsional problem to a singular integral equation with a Cauchy kernel. The circumferential shear stress and displacement fields in the coating structure are calculated by solving the integral equation numerically. The results show that the stiffness ratio has significant effect on the distribution of the circumferential stress and displacement at the interface.
