Abstract

It is shown that the substitution of reduced modulus for specimen modulus in the analysis equations for nanoindentation test data is valid. The methods of analysis use the slope of the unloading force–depth response which is assumed to be elastic. Because of this utilization of the slope or unloading stiffness, it makes no difference whether or not the deflection of the indenter is accommodated explicitly or transferred to that occurring within the specimen by artificially reducing the specimen modulus from its true value to lower value, the reduced modulus.
