Abstract. The author considers an elastic
strip of thickness h represented
in Cartesian coordinates by
The strip is clamped at the bottom y = 0, the upper side is in contact with a rigid stamp and is
assumed to be free from shear and the normal stress σy = 0 on y = h away from the bottom of the stamp. The purpose of this note
is to determine the stress field in the elastic strip given the normal
displacement v(x) and the lateral displacement u(x) under the stamp.
