Hertzian contact theory on sin and cosine plane

[grecko94]

Main Question or Discussion Point

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.

 

[Dr.D]

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.

 

[Dr.D]

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

its settled then ! thank you
