Although indentation experiments have long been used to measure the hardness and
Young's modulus, the utility of this technique in analyzing the complete elastic–plastic …

In this work, we investigated experimentally the various factors influencing the extraction of
indentation stress-strain curves from spherical nanoindentation on metal samples using two …

Instrumented nanoindentation experiments, especially with sharp tips, are a well-
established technique to measure the hardness and moduli values of a wide range of …

The stress-strain fields realized in spherical indentation tests are highly heterogeneous, and
present a significant challenge to the recovery of bulk stress-strain responses such as those …

In this paper, we present a novel approach to converting the load–displacement data
measured in spherical nanoindentation into indentation stress–strain curves. This new …

This paper describes the development of novel experimental protocols and data analysis
procedures for extracting meaningful indentation stress–strain curves from spherical …

Nanoindentation load-displacement curves provide a “mechanical fingerprint” of a materials
response to contact deformation. Over the last few years, much attention has been focused …

Experiments have shown that nanoindentation unloading curves obtained with Berkovich
triangular pyramidal indenters are usually welldescribed by the power-law relation P= α (h …

A new empirical method is proposed for analyzing nano-indentation load–displacement
curves. This method is based on experimental results and finite element (FEM) calculations …

Pop-in during nanoindentation, which indicates the onset of dislocation plasticity, was
systematically investigated in annealed and pre-strained single crystals of nickel using …
