On the base of a rigorous mathematical model. the problem of the contact interaction of a heated flat punch of an elliptical section with a transversely isotropic elastic half-space is investigated. It is assumed that the half-space surface is the isotropy plane of a transversely isotropic material. and also that there is a smooth (without friction) contact. https://www.findingthestory.com/product-category/jacks-and-stands/
