A critical review of FEM models to simulate the nano-impact test on PVD coatings

Nano-impact test is a reliable method for assessing the brittleness of PVD coatings with mono- or multi-layer structures. For the analytical description of this test, a 3D-FEM Finite Element Method (FEM) model and an axis-symmetrical one were developed using the ANSYS LS-DYNA software. The axis-symm...
