On Boussinesq’s Problem for a Power-Law Graded Elastic Half-Space on Elliptical and General Contact Domains

The indentation of a power-law graded elastic half-space by a rigid counter body is considered in the framework of linear elasticity. Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant over the half-space. For indenters with an ellipsoidal power-law shape, an exact contact solution is derived, based on the g...
