Contact deformation can cause local damage of mechanical structures and lead to structural failure
of mechanical devices. In this work, we use the finite element method to analyze the indentation-
induced delamination of a film-substrate structure and the critical tensile stress as the criterion to
determine local delamination on the interface between the film and the substrate. The simulation

Finite element analysis was used to analyze the indentation deformation of
a transversely isotropic piezoelectric material (PZT-4) by a rigid spherical
indenter. Three cases were considered in the analysis, which included (a)
the indentation by an insulating indenter, (b) the indentation by a conducting
indenter and (c) the indentation of the piezoelectric material with equal electric
potential on the top surface. The indentation load was found to be proportional
to the 3/2 power of the indentation depth for all three cases. Using the simulation

Electrical–thermal–mechanical interactions determine the reliability and performance of microelectromechanical devices and systems.
Using the nanoindentation technique the effect of an electric current on the indentation deformation of Sn strips was studied for an
indentation load in the range 50–200 lN. During the indentation an electric current density in the range 993.05–4087.89 A cm2
was
passed through the Sn strips, which introduced electrical–thermal–mechanical interactions. The experimental results showed that the
