A Finite Element Investigation Of Brittle Fracture During Spherical Nanoindentation Of Thin Hard Films

Hard ceramic films of micrometric thickness deposited on a soft metallic substrate have ushered in a new era in the fabrication of structural, tribological, microelectronic and optical components. The mechanical performance of these components is however critically dependent on the strength and toug...
