Hertzian contact theory on sin and cosine plane

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Hertzian contact theory to a simulation involving a two-dimensional rolling disk on an elastic sine/cosine plane. Participants confirm the relevance of Hertz's theory in this context, emphasizing the need for a clear definition of the sine/cosine plane to facilitate further understanding. The elastic nature of the cosine surface and the solid characteristics of the disk are highlighted as critical components of the simulation. Overall, the applicability of Hertz's theory in this scenario is established without doubt.

Hello guys, i`m currently making simulation of 2 dimension rolling disk on elastic sin/cosine plane. I`m just wondering if the theory applicable.

What is a sin/cosine plane? We need a definition/description here before there can be a useful answer.
 
so sorry, i forgot to add the figure

something like this, but the cos surface is elastic and the disk is solid object.

I cannot see any reason to doubt the applicability of Hertz' theory here.
