“…Experimental values of S 2 / P max measured in this work with three‐sided pyramidal indenters having centerline‐to‐face angles of 35.3°, 55°, 65.3°, and 75° were used for calibrating the finite element data with equivalent conical indenter centerline‐to‐face angles of 42.2°, 61.4°, 70.3°, and 78.2°, respectively. S 2 / P max is a parameter unique to the combination of indenter geometry and material that is a constant with applied load or indentation depth for bulk, homogeneous materials with no indentation size effect . Experimental values of S 2 / P max with an error of ±10 GPa for fused silica were found to be 571 GPa, 600 GPa, 607 GPa, and 938 GPa for the 35.3°, 55°, 65.3° and 75° pyramidal indenters, respectively.…”
