Rethinking the role that the “step” in the load–displacement curves can play in measurement of fracture toughness for hard coatings by Zhang, Xiaomin, Zhang, Sam

“…This paper scrutinizes the “step” and finds that the “step” is a gap artificially bridged up with a straight line and that the “step” size corresponds with the thickness of the coating in testing. …”
