Abstract

The problem of the contact between a smooth, rigid indenter and an elastic quarter space is solved using integral transform techniques. The indenter can have an arbitrary plan form and can extend to the edge of the quarter space. Numerical results are given when a rigid, right-circular body is pressed into the top surface of the quarter space, while keeping its axis parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the edge.
