In particular, the influence of the size of the indenters is studied. Nano and micro indentation techniques were applied by using two different typical indentera; a berkovich and a spherical indenter. The experiments were conducted at different indentation depths. Oliver and pharr's method was used to get an estimation of the elastic modulus of the material. In parallel, finite element analysis using ANSYS was performed UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
