Abstract
A theoretical analysis for the determination of the contact pressure between a uniform elastic spherical shell and a rigid plate is developed. The results are directly applicable to the theory of applanation tonometry which is concerned with the measurement of intraocular pressure. Numerical results are presented for a shell having a radius to thickness ratio of 30.
