Abstract

A depth change in nanoindentation curve by an influence of elastic residual stress was modeled as a reversible surface deformation by adopting an elastic contact mechanics for a flat punch. The model, however, yielded overestimated stresses for two diamond-like carbon films. The discrepancy was discussed from a viewpoint of irreversible deformation around the punch.
