“…For an axisymmetric indenter and elastically isotropic half spaces, the relationship between reduced Young's modulus E r and Young's modulus E of the coating can be expressed using the equations: 1/E r = (1 − 2 /E) + (1 − 2 i /E i ) and E r = (1/2ˇh c ) /24.5(dp/dh) [27], where E i = 1141 GPa and i = 0.07 are the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the diamond indenter, ˇ is a constant and equals to 1.034 for a Berkovich indenter [27], the contact depth h c before unloading is estimated from the P-h curve, and dP/dh is the slope of the unloading curve. In this work, the Poisson's ratio of 8YSZ is assumed to be 0.1 [38]. As shown in Fig.…”
