displacements; two-dimensional problem; point matching technique; beam subjected to arbitrary but symmetrical loading on one side; contact stress distribution be elliptic; small contact lengths; smooth indentation of beam of finite length by rigid, cylindrical indenter; superposing classical beam theory solution with elasticity solutions obtained through use of finite Fourier transforms; values of overall deflection, indentation and contact lengths are plotted as function of total load
