Surface mechanical analyses by Hertzian indentation Análises mecânicas de superfície via indentação Hertzian

Hertzian indentation technique was used to measure surface flaw sizes on polished dense polycrystalline alumina specimens with grain sizes G = 1.2, 3.8 and 14.1 µm. Two surfaces finishes were studied: well-polished (Syton) and coarse-polished (45 µm diamond paste). Flaw sizes depended on the surface...
