✦ Synopsis

Usmg the constltutwe equation of a rubber-hke materials given by Gao (1997), this paper mvestlgates the problem of a cone under tenslon of a concentrated force at Its apex Under consideration 1s the axialsymmetry case and the large strain IS taken mto account The stress strain fields near the apex are obtained by both asymptotic analysis and finite element calculation The two results are consistent well When the cone angle IS I80', the solution becomes that of non-linear Boussmesq's problem for tension case Key words large strain, rubber cone, asymptotic analysis, fimte element
