Abstract
This paper is concerned with the axially symmetric plastic flow of a rigid perfectly-plastic nonhardening halfspace. The initial penetration of the elastic indenter is studied based on Haar and von Karman hypothesis. The analytical distribution of contact stress and the approximate penetration depth of the indenter are obtained
