The size of the contact zone and the length of the opened area as a function of the applied stress, material properties and radius of the inclusion are calculated. The results demonstrate a strong non-linearity of the solution.en© Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011rigid inclusion, semi-infinite planes, elasticity, contactJournal article002011519710.1007/s10704-011-9632-80002976207000132-s2.0-8485526508726569Kotooussov, A.
