In this paper, Föppl determined the deformation of the surface of an elastic half-space under the action of arbitrary plane as well as arbitrary axis-symmetric pressure distribution, in a form that allowed a simple inversion and thus solution of an arbitrary contact problem. This inversion was made in the dissertation of his doctoral student Gerhard Schubert, whose dissertation was published in a shortened form in 1942.

When a sequence appeared more than once in a message, or in several messages, he indicated that it was enciphered with the same key. Having sorted all the messages into groups, he focused on the group which seemed easiest to

After the military service in World War I, Ludwig Föppl became professor of mechanics at the
Technische Hochschule Dresden in 1920 and professor of mechanics at the Technische Hochschule Munich in 1922. The focus of his works was on theoretical continuum mechanics. Apart from this, Ludwig Föppl has

Föppl began by determining which messages had been encrypted using the same key; this was accomplished by looking for common sequences of characters. These messages were structured and transmitted in sets of five letters, transcribed on square paper, and each message was represented as a series of
