On the application of the work-of-indentation appproach to depth-sensing indentation experiments in coated systems

The work-of-indentation approach is developed and applied for hardness calculations on soft or hard materials, and also for a range of coated systems. The method appears to be less sensitive than other definitions to the effects of pile-up observed in soft materials. Work-of-indentation hardness is...
