Validity of Winkler’s mattress model for thin elastomeric layers: beyond Poisson’s ratio
Validity of Winkler’s mattress model for thin elastomeric layers: beyond Poisson’s ratio
Winkler’s mattress model is often used as a simplified model to understand how a thin elastic layer, such as a coating, deforms when subject to a distributed normal load: the deformation of the layer is assumed proportional to the applied normal load. This simplicity means that the Winkler model has …
