Indentation using a Constrained Punch
A hodograph can be constructed for the example of a constrained
punch. This is similar to hardness testing. The situation is not easy
to analyse, with five blocks of metal all moving and eight planes on
which there is energy dissipation through shear.
Indentation using a Constrained Punch
Rule 1:
Look for symmetry and reduce the geometry accordingly.

Rule 2:
Label regions of the model which move relative to each other.
A particle will travel a path as shown. It is sheared
when it meets the line BC to move by shear parallel to CD and then sheared
along DB to move by shear parallel to DE

Rule 3:
Define an origin of the hodograph, O,
corresponding to a stationary component of the system.

Rule 4:
Draw the velocity vector of the unknown force Q,
or unit length (Oq),
on the hodograph.

Rule 5:
Draw vectors in the known directions of the moving components (Or
and Os), relative to
the origin O and to each other (q'r
and rs) on the hodograph.

Rule 6:
Each vertex where these vectors intersect represents one (or more) of
the labelled regions of the model.
Oq
and Oq' define motion
of particles in region Q and Q'.

Rule 7:
Velocity vectors must be oriented parallel to slip planes due to conservation
of matter.
