I want to calculate the residual stress on a coating which has been spared on to a substrate. However, the only parameter I know about the coating is the young modulus, v and yield strength. I do not know the tangent modulus of the coating and I'm not sure how to add plasticity to the model. Is...

I have tried to simulate the Vickers hardness on a substrate with a coating on it. I am really struggling to get it to work as the deformation is far too big. I have added the pictures of my model. Is there anyone that can help me with this?
