Abstract

In this chapter, we study the axisymmetric indentation problem for a transversely isotropic elastic half-space with finite friction. By treating the indentation problem incrementally, its general solution is reduced to that of the problem for a flat-ended cylindrical indenter with an unknown stick-slip radius. The solution to the latter problem in the transversely isotropic case is obtained via Turner’s equivalence principle Turner (Int J Solids Struct 16:409–419, 1980 [15]), from the analytical solution given by Spence (J Elast 5:297–319, 1975 [12]) in the case of isotropy. The generalization, due to Storåkers and Elaguine (J Mech Phys Solids 53:1422–1447, 2005 [14]), of the BASh relation for incremental indentation stiffness, and also accounting for the friction effects, is presented. The case of self-similar contact with friction is considered in more detail.

The ideal reasoner would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also the results which would follow from it.
