Performance indices and selection of thin hard coatings on soft substrates for indentation and scratch resistance
A generic mechanical framework has been developed for assessing the indentation and scratch resistance of hard films on soft substrates. Analytical expressions for the critical loads leading to film cracking or substrate yielding are proposed based on closed form plate bending models and on finite e...
