hertz_surface_ur — DRIVE tacslip op

• Data kinds: matrix × scalar × scalar × scalar × scalar → matrix

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.hertz_surface_ur(r, a: 'float', p0: 'float', G: 'float', nu: 'float') -> 'np.ndarray' (to call the implementation directly, import tacslip; tacslip.hertz_surface_ur(r, a: 'float', p0: 'float', G: 'float', nu: 'float') -> 'np.ndarray'; from the registry, opsdrive.get("hertz_surface_ur"))

Usage

Radial displacement ūr [m] of the half-space surface produced by a normal load (Hertz pressure p0√(1−r²/a²)) (Johnson 1985 Eq. 3.41b rewritten with E = 2G(1+ν)). Negative = toward the center. Inside −(1−2ν)p0a²/(6Gr)[1 − (1−r²/a²)^{3/2}], outside −(1−2ν)p0a²/(6Gr) (= point load −(1−2ν)P/(4πGr)), 0 as r → 0. The maximum is not at the edge but at r ≈ 0.93a (1.022 times ūr(a)). ūr(a)/δ = 2(1−2ν)/(3π(1−ν)) (1.6 % at ν 0.48, 12 % at ν 0.3) — in a nearly incompressible gel the markers barely move under normal load. Raises ValueError: a, p0, G ≤ 0.
