The computation program, which is based on the analytical expressions of the flat surface contact between a linear elastic plate and an elastic foundation (Vlasov & Leontiev, 1966), the flat surface plate being loaded with a concentrated force applied eccentrically and with a loads uniformly distributed, leads to the displacements of the points from any position within the contact area, by resolving the differential equations which describe the phenomenon of the two bodies' deformation (Dinu,1998).
