Influence of indenter geometry on the frictional sliding resistance of tooth enamel

Indentation force-displacement and sliding scratch resistance measurements have been conducted on orangutan tooth enamel. Tests were made with a corner-cube (CC), Berkovich, as well as spherical (nominally 1 μm and 5 μm radius) indenters. Indentation loads ranged from 100 to 5000 μN and were also ma...
