Abstract

Using the finite difference code FLAC3D (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in 3 Dimensions) and UST (Unified Strength Theory), the influence of the intermediate principal stress effect on the problems of flat punch are analyzed in this paper. The values of the ultimate bearing capacity resulting from numerical analyses and the analytical solution of Prandtl’s strip punch problem are compared. The three-dimensional problems of strip, rectangular, square and circular punches on a semi infinite metallic medium have been analyzed.
