Indentation load-depth relation for an elastic layer with surface tension

open access: yes, 2018
Load-depth relation is the fundamental requisite in nanoindentation tests for thin layers, however, the effects of surface tension are seldom included. This paper concerns micro-/nano-sized indentation of a bonded elastic layer by a rigid sphere.
