title = "Influence of nanoindenter tip radius on the estimation of the elastic modulus",
abstract = "Nanoindentation results are very sensitive to tip rounding and neglecting the value of the tip radius produces erroneous estimation of the material elastic properties. In this study we investigate the effect of tip radius on the estimation of the Elastic modulus by means of finite element analysis of Berkovich and conical tips with different tip radii. Our numerical results were already supported by an experimental study on fused silica with Berkovich tips with different tip radii. The use of classical Oliver Pharr equation overestimated the Elastic modulus. A new analytical model that modifies the Oliver Pharr equation to consider the value of the tip radius is employed to derive the Elastic modulus from load displacement curves yielding improved results compared to the classical Oliver Pharr equation.",
