In this paper, the effect of indenter tip roundness on hardness behavior for two typical elastic perfectly plastic materials is studied by means of finite element simulation. A rigid conical indenter of semi apex angle 70.3 โข fitted smoothly with a spherical tip is employed. It is shown that as the
