Abstract
An approximate analytical solution is derived for the inclined non-inertial sinkage of a flat plate onto a smooth surface, for the case of small angles. The result is a modification to the existing solutions for parallel sinkage, in the form of a polynomial in the dimensionless angle of inclination. Even the smallest angle of inclination of plate to surface produces a large increase in the sinkage rate otherwise obtained. The results are confirmed experimentally.Keywords
