The influence of indenter bluntness on the apparent contact stiffness of thin coatings
In the present paper, the influence of punch tip sharpness on the interpretation of indentation measurements is considered. Firstly, in order to obtain analytical insight into the nature of the problem, closed form solutions are presented for the indentation of a homogeneous elastic half-space by an...
