Influence of gravity force on the indentation of a Coulomb plastic by a wedge


Miloš Kojić, J. B. Cheatham, Jr.




The influence of the force of gravity on the plastic Coulomb indentation by means of the wedge is analyzed using the numerical method. The solutions are obtained in the non-dimensional form for several key angles and for two angles of internal friction. An example is given in the form dimensionale.
