An appraisal of the paper by O'Carrol et al. (1990).
The paper by O'Carrol et al. (1), which addresses the problem of an elastomeric disc indented by a spherical punch, has been evaluated. The sources of disagreement between linear elastic numerical predictions and experimental measurements noted in this paper have been critically examined in the light of finite element forecasts obtained with a package which incorporates finite elasticity effects and incompressibility.
