Residual stress effect on hardness and yield strength of Ni thin film

Sharp indentation tests with a Berkovich indenter are utilized to investigate the influence of residual stress on the mechanical properties of Ni thin film subjected to plastic deformation. Based on the indention size effect, it is shown that residual stress has almost no influence on hardness in th...
