Does any one know about the Sneddon's equation.

Thanks
 
Yeah, tends to err on the side of conservative multiplicative factors which lowers theoretical to practical results. Good approximations though if you need something in a hurry and want to have safety factors near two.

Do you have an application or reasoning behind your enquiry? I say this only because every equation has multiple principles and can be used in several different cases. If you can narrow things down a bit, someone might be able to point you in the right direction and be able to find you information SPECIFICALLY regarding what you are working on.
 
Thanks StLENG (Mechanical)

I am searching for nanoindentation application in which sneddon's equation is basic for analysis.

Thanks
