A numerical simulation similar to the ones given in Refs. 18, 19, and 21, in which a contact area computed with the Hertz model is used, gives a slope of 0.16 for an elastic modulus of (Formula presented) and a cantilever stiffness (Formula presented) Note that using the same values gives a slope of 0.04 for the contact deflection mode.
