摘要
Micro- and nano-indentations have been widely used to measure the mechanical properties of biological cells and tissues, but the direct application of the classical Hertzian contact model would lead to the overestimation of elastic modulus due to the influence of finite thickness and surface energy. In this work, we analyze spherical indentation of biological films, considering both large deformation and surface energy. The hyperelastic behavior of biological films is characterized by the neo-Hookean model, and the influence of surface energy is addressed through finite element simulation. Based on dimensional analysis, the explicit expressions of load-depth relation accounting for film thickness, large deformation and surface energy are achieved for bonded or non-bonded films. Under a specific load, the consideration of large deformation increases the indent depth, while the finite thickness of films tends to decrease the indent depth, compared to the linear elastic Hertzian solution. More importantly, surface energy evidently alters the load-depth relation for micro-/nano-indentations, which reduces the indent depth and makes the films seemingly stiffer. These results provide a fundamental relationship to accurately extract the mechanical properties of biological films from indentation tests.
