This calculator allows calculating pressure 
, displacement (elastic deformation) 
, average pressure 
and resultant force 
for the case of indentation of elastic half-space by a rigid cone with a parabolic cap. In this case, the intender is rigid and of conical shape. The substrate is elastic, the geometric parameters 
– rigid body displacement, 
– radius of the contact, 
– inclination angle of the cone, 
– radius of the parabolic cap, and material parameters 
are the inputs (see the figure and definitions below).
Equations were taken from [1].
Definitions:
Poisson’s ratio 
dimensionless,
Young’s modulus of elasticity 
, [Pa],
Equivalent elastic constant 
, [Pa],
Normal load
