Correcting for contact area changes in nanoindentation using surface acoustic waves

Nanoindentation is extensively used to quantify nano-scale mechanical behaviour. A widely-used assumption is that a well-defined, materialindependent relationship exists between the indentation depth and indenter contact area. Here we demonstrate that this assumption is violated by ionimplanted tung...
