Abstract
Instrumented indentation tests are most promising, reliable, easy non-destructive testing procedures in the materials research and these procedures are extended to characterize the coatings developed on the surface of the substrates. Indentation tests are conducted at different length scales i.e. Macro to Nano levels. The indentation tests data is used to determine the different mechanical properties of the coatings. This chapter gives the different numerical procedures or analytical models used to evaluate the Elasto-plastic deformation behaviour of coatings by using indentation data.
