Hi all,

when a flat-end cylinder, such as Si, is compressed into soft metals, such as Al, sidewall contact between Si and Al occurs. How to estimate the sidewall contact pressure applied to the Si cylinder?

A follow-up question is, imagine the Si cylinder is already compressed into Al with a large depth, now we pull the Si cylinder out of the Al. In the pull-out process, how to estimate the sidewall contact pressure applied to the Si cylinder?

Any comments or help would be appreciated.
