A study is made of the propagation of elastic and plastic deformation in a thin plate, initially unstressed, and of infinite extent, when it is penetrated normally by a cone moving with uniform velocity. The work is an extension of unpublished researches by Sir G. I. Taylor on the corresponding problem for a thin wire, and a summary of his results is included.
