Abstract A self-similar solution is presented for the problem of the indentation of a rigid pyramid with square or triangular base into an ideally plastic half-space in the case of complete plasticity, with contact friction on the pyramid faces being taken into account. This problem models material hardness testing by the indentation of a rigid pyramid. The pressure on the pyramid and the shape of the plastic impression are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.

Complete plasticity of an ideally plastic body corresponds to the edges of the Treska-Saint-Venant prism in the space of principal stresses. It is only in the case of complete plasticity that the spatial shear deformation along two slip planes in which the tangential stress attains the shear yield limit is possible. The spatial problem of ideal plasticity in the case of complete plasticity is statically determinate, hyperbolic, and can be useful in applications [1-5].

The characteristic relations for stresses and displacement rates for the spatial problem in the case of complete plasticity are presented in [6] and it is shown that the familiar relations for the plane and axisymmetric deformation are particular cases of the relations of the general spatial problem. These relations are applied in [6] for determining the pressure of flat punches with various shapes of contact surfaces on an ideally plastic half-space.

In the present paper, we apply the characteristic relations of [6] to solve a spatial self-similar problem of the indentation of a rigid pyramid into an ideally plastic half-space, with contact friction on the pyramid faces being taken into account. This problem models hardness tests of metals by indenting a rigid pyramid. The shape of the plastic impression and the pressure on the pyramid satisfactorily agree with experiments [7].
