Geometrical self-similarity is a feature of mathematically sharp indenters such as conical and Berkovich indenters. However, self-similarity is considered inappropriate for practical use because of inevitable indenter tip blunting. In this study, we analyze the load–depth curves of conical indenters with various tip radii via finite element analyses. Based on the numerical data, we propose a method of restoring the Kick’s law coefficient C of finite tip-radius indenter to that of zero tip-radius indenter, thereby retaining the self-similarity of the sharp indenter. We then regress the unloading slope for the evaluation of elastic modulus in several ways. Finally, we establish a method to evaluate elastic modulus, which successfully provides the value of the elastic modulus with a maximum error of less than 5%, regardless of tip radius and material properties of both indenter and specimen.

Mechanical properties of porous silicon nitride prepared by two different processing routes have been studied. Depth sensing methods was used to measure the hardness and elastic modulus of experimental materials. The results were compared with the hardness and elastic modulus of trabecular bone in order to find out porous ceramics with properties close to that of trabecular bone. Material prepared by infiltration of polyurethane sponge exhibited properties close to the properties of bone and it is the potential material for further investigation in the bioapplication field.
