Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the effect of material anisotropy on the incremental indentaion stiffness in the frictionless indentation of elastic materials. In particular, the cases of cylindrical flat-ended (circular and elliptical), paraboloidal, and conical indenters are considered. We present simple approximations for the introduced indentation moduli.

Of all the facts which were presented to us, we had to pick just those which we deemed to be essential, and then piece them together in their order, so as to reconstruct this very remarkable chain of events.
