A new technique based on the detection of the amplitude of the second harmonic was
described in a previous paper. To compute the elastic modulus and the hardness of …

In this article, a new method based on the detection of the second harmonic of the
displacement signal to determine mechanical properties of materials from dynamic …

The phenomena of pile-up and sink-in associated with nanoindentation have been found to
have large effects on the measurements of the indentation modulus and hardness of copper …

The indentation of elastic-plastic strain-hardened material with a conical indenter was
investigated using the finite-element method. The influence of the ratio of the elastic …

When determining elastic modulus and hardness of viscoelastic-plastic materials by depth-
sensing indentation, one must respect their specific response. In the monotonic load-unload …

The measurement of mechanical properties by nanoindentation methods is most often
conducted using indenters with the Berkovich geometry (a triangular pyramid) or with a …

The Oliver and Pharr method for evaluating nanoindentation load–displacement data is
based on the measurement of the contact stiffness, which is usually determined at the very …

Dynamic nanoindentation is a popular method for continuously probing the mechanical
properties of a sample as a function of depth. It is shown here that special caution should be …

The nanoindentation test has become one of the most broadly expanded techniques used to
measure the mechanical properties in a sub-micron range. However, the interpretation of the …

Nanoindentation is a powerful technique used for assessing mechanical properties at
nano/micro-scale. It is used for obtaining material parameters like elastic modulus …
