Abstract:

Three models, JKR (Johnson, Kendall and Roberts), DMT (Derjaguin, Muller, and Toporov) and MD (Maugis-Dugdale), are compared with the Hertz model in dealing with nano-contact problems. It has been shown that both the dimensionless load parameter, P = P /(R), and the transition parameter have significant influences on the contact area at micro/nano-scale and should not be ignored in nano-indentation tests.

Keywords: Work of adhesion; elastic contact models; transition parameter; dimensionless load parameter.
