Abstract
An elastic half plane is indented by a perfectly conducting rigid flat punch, which is maintained at a different temperature from the half plane. It is found that, depending on the magnitude and direction of the total heat flux, one of the following states occurs: separation at the punch corners, perfect thermal contact throughout the punch face, or an imperfect contact region at the center with adjacent perfect contact regions.
