The Berkovich nano-indentation is an indentation test method analyzing mechanical properties of materials such as hardness and elastic modulus. The length scale of the penetration is measured in nanometers. Therefore, this method becomes widely useful for analyzing the mechanical property of thin film which can not be measured before. In this paper, comparing two results of the load-displacement curve obtained by the Berkovich nano-indentation and the 3-D finite element analysis, it was confirmed that the 3-D finite element analysis is useful. The phenomenon of pile-up and sink-in due to material properties was discussed by the finite element analysis.

In recent years, various forms of indentation testing have been increasingly used to determine the material properties of specimens. This technique, particularly the nano-indentation method , has been extended to the testing of coating systems in order to calculate the individual properties of the thin coatings and the substrates. However, the interpretation of the test data to achieve this is complex and continues to be a widely studied subject. Based on the finite element method of coated surfaces indented by a Berkovich diamond tip, this paper describes methods for combining FEM and experimental indentation testing to determine coating modulus and hardness independent of substrate effects. Using this proposed methodology, testing and FEM to measure coefficients of friction of sheet steel for outer panel were studied.
