Abstract
A methodology based on the cavity expansion model is developed to analyze the indentation of rocks by a class of blunt indenters. The analysis covers the particular self-similar case of indentation by blunt wedges or cones. As an example, the main results for the indentation of rocks by a spherical tool are presented and the analytical solution is compared with experimental results obtained by indenting a sphere in Harcourt granite.
