Surface stretch of an elastic half-space under indentation

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.
