Determination of surface residual stresses in brittle materials by Hertzian indentation: Theory and experiment
Hertzian indentation has been used to determine the surface residual stress levels in brittle materials. In this method, a hard sphere is pressed into the surface of the material: at a critical load a preexisting surface-breaking crack in the neighborhood of the contact will propagate. There is a th...
