Abstrakt: An analytical model was developed to derive an approximate closed-form solution for indenter displacement when a rigid spherical indenter is pressed onto a coating/substrate system. Finite element analyses were also performed to verify the analytical solution. The results showed that the solution could be obtained from. the analytical expression for Hertzian indentation on a homogeneous semi-infinite elastic medium multiplied by a modification term. This modification term is a function of two ratios: (i) Young's modulus ratio between the coating and the substrate and (ii) the ratio between the coating thickness and the contact radius. Based on this modification term, master curves for Hertzian indentation on coating/substrate systems were plotted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
