In this work we use the Topological-Shape Sensitivity Method to obtain the topological derivative for three-dimensional linear elasticity problems, adopting the total potential energy as cost function and the equilibrium equation as constraint. This method, based on classical shape sensitivity analy

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper an analytic solution for a three-dimensional contact problem, in linear elasticity, is constructed through the separation of Laplace's equation in paraboloidal coordinates. A rigid punch under normal loading is applied to an isotropic elastic medium occupying an infinite half-space where the contact region is parabolic and the punch profile is prescribed. This treatment allows for a general punch profile provided it is physically reasonable so as to ensure the convergence of the solution.

Three-dimensional contact problems in the classical theory of linear elasticity can often be regarded as mixed boundary-value problems of potential theory. In this paper we examine the problem where contact between the indenting object (called a punch) and the elastic medium is maintained over an in
