Abstract

In this chapter, we consider the tangential displacement field induced at the surface of a transversely isotropic elastic half-space by axisymmetric normal loading, e.g., with the help of a rigid indenter. In particular, a new elastic constant, which is responsible for the so-called surface stretch is introduced. Explicit formulas for the surface stretch are given for canonical (paraboloidal, conical, and spherical) indenters and a flat-ended annular indenter.

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence.
