Abstract
Abstract
Closed-form expressions for the contact pressure between a blunt wedge and an elastically dissimilar half-plane are presented. It is demonstrated that for practical values of the material mismatch parameter, β, and coefficient of friction, f, the results do not differ significantly from the elastically similar problem.
