Nanoindentation: Oliver & Pharr Analysis

Submitted by Nirav Parekh on

Dear Members,

I am very new to field of nanoindentation and my question might appear too simple.

I am indenting an elastic - plastic material (polymer blend) with spherical indenter. I am well verse with hertz contact mechancis theory and indentation theories like Oliver & Pharr, JKR, DMT and few others.
