Abstract

Equations are obtained for the complete stress field due to a circular contact region carrying a “hemispherical” Hertzian normal pressure and a proportional distributed shearing traction. The equations are illustrated by graphs of a constant-yield parameter and graphs of maximum tensile stress.
