Indentation testing is a well-known method to measure the rate dependence of the strength
of materials at small scales through a variety of different testing methodologies. In many …

Indentation as a means to extract creep properties has the advantage that it can be applied
directly to micro/nano-structures. Many studies on indentation creep reported at least …

An extensive study of the different methods able to measure material creep properties in
indentation is proposed. A systematic comparison of the fast creep, long-term creep …

The ability to accurately determine the applied load is critical in measuring hardness, which
is traditionally defined as the ratio of the applied load to the projected contact area in the …

Recently the measurement of the creep response of materials at small scales has received
renewed interest largely because the equipment required to perform high-temperature …

New experimental methods are developed to measure the uniaxial power-law creep
parameters α and n in the relation ε̇= ασn (ε̇ is the creep strain rate and σ is the creep …

Using finite element analysis and analytical modeling, we investigate the strain rate
sensitivity of the hardness in indentation creep (m H) and the relationship between m H and …

Different loading protocols have been developed in the past to investigate the creep
properties of materials using instrumented indentation testing technique. Recently, a new …

Based on dimensional analysis, we analysed the indentation of a rigid indenter into a power-
law creep solid for which the relationship between the stress and the strain rate is given by …

Creep properties of polycrystalline Tin (Sn) and single crystal Aluminium (Al) were studied
by two nanoindentation methods, ie, constant load (CL) test and constant strain rate (CSR) …
