We provide an overview of the basic concepts of scaling and dimensional analysis, followed
by a review of some of the recent work on applying these concepts to modeling instrumented …

Using dimensional analysis and finite-element calculations, several relationships that relate
features of indentation loading and unloading curves to the hardness, the elastic modulus …

We derive, using dimensional analysis and finite element calculations, several scaling
relationships for conical indentation in elastic-plastic solids with work hardening. Using …

Applying the scaling relationships developed recently for conical indentation in elastic–
plastic solids with work-hardening, we examine the question of whether stress–strain …

Using dimensional analysis and finite element calculations we derive several scaling
relationships for conical indentation into elastic-perfectly plastic solids. These scaling …

With the advances in instrumented indentation systems and testing methodologies, high
speed indentation mapping with indents that take less than a second is now possible. This …

The method we introduced in 1992 for measuring hardness and elastic modulus by
instrumented indentation techniques has widely been adopted and used in the …

Instrumented indentation methods, which provide a continuous record of the variation of
indentation load, P, as a function of the depth of penetration, h, into the indented specimen …

A continuum theory for elastic–plastic solids that accounts for the size-dependence of strain
hardening is employed to analyze trends in the indentation hardness test. Strain gradient …

Indentation is a remarkably flexible mechanical test due to its relative experimental
simplicity. Coupled with advances in instrument development, ease of implementation has …
