Energy based models to determine fracture toughness of thin coated systems by nanoindentation

This project alms to determine the fracture toughness of thin coated systems by nanoindentation. The development of techniques for the assessment of coating toughness lags behind the determination of Young's modulus and hardness of thin coatings. No universal model or technique has been agreed...
