Extract

The indentation produced by an axially symmetrical punch bearing on the plane surface of an elastic half-space has been considered by Harding and Sneddon [1], who used Hankel transforms and a well-known pair of dual integral equations, and for the case of a spherical punch they took the indenting surface to be part of the approximating paraboloid of revolution. Chong [2], also using these dual integral equations has treated the case of a symmetrical punch of polynomial form and considers a two-termed expansion for a spherical punch. More recently, Payne [3] has given the exact solution for a spherical punch using either oblate spheroidal coordinates or toroidal coordinates.
