Method of Determining Elastic Modulus

Summary: A method and apparatus of determining an elastic modulus of a material having a Poisson's ratio v by a Berkovich indenter having an elastic modulus E; a Poisson's ratio v, and a cross sectional area A(h) as a function of depth are provided. The method and apparatus model the Berkovich indenter with a conical shape and a spherical cap.
