Depth of the Contact Region Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Online physics calculator to calculate depth of the contact region between a rigid conical indenter and an elastic half-space from user radius and angle values.

Depth of the Contact Region

Formula:

ϵ = a × tan θ

where,
ϵ = Depth of the contact region
a = Radius of the contact area (circle)
θ = Angle between the plane and the side surface of the cone
