The effect of contact aspect ratio and film to substrate elastic modulus ratio on stress vs. strain up to the point of yield during flat punch thin film indentation of an elastic-plastic film

Nanoindentation is the only way to test the local mechanical properties of thin films and coatings. Current analysis treats the measurement as a perturbation of a conventional half-space indentation, typically limiting testing to films with modulus within an order of magnitude of the supporting subs...
