INDENTATION OF FLAT-ENDED AND TAPERED INDENTERS WITH POLYGONAL CROSS-SECTIONS

Using the Boundary Element Method, we numerically study the indentation of prismatic and tapered indenters with polygonal cross-sections. The contact stiffness of punches with flat bases in the form of a triangle and a square as well as a number of higher-order polygons is determined. In particular,...
