The contact pressure adjacent to the apex of a tilted punch is studied and used to form a refined, two-term asymptote for the contact pressure at a point of discontinuous gradient interior to a half-plane contact problem. The asymptote is compared with the full solution for an example problem, the wheel with a flat.
