Surface contacts modeled by a flat ended rigid punch pressed on an elastic half-space possess analytical solution only for circular and elliptical cross-sections. This paper extends analytical solutions to the class of punch cross-sections bounded by mathematically smooth curves and applies the theory to Cassini’s ovals contours.
