Hello,
My problem is the following:
In clasical Hertz theory I was able to locate indentation depth for the case of sphere/elastic half space, which I will denote as d0. I am interested if there is a relatively simple solution for obtaining indentation depth (d1) if this half-space is limited, that is a sphere in contact with either of these three cases:
1. Semi-infinite cylinder of diameter W (sphere is in contact with the upper cylinder side)
2. Semi-infinite prism of side W (sphere is in contact with the upper prism side)
