Nanoindentation technology is an effective and convenient method for evaluating the
mechanical properties of materials at micro and nano scales. Since the complete …

The evolution of the plastic zone underneath the indenter is challenging to be described
during nanoindentation, which is recently known to be crucial to establish a constitutive …

Microcapsules with polydopamine composite shell layer were successfully synthesized by
functionalizing silica‐modified microcapsules containing isophorone diisocyanate. The …

Over the last decade, indentation-based material characterization has shifted away from
contact zone measurements for identifying the work hardening properties, and has begun to …

Based on equivalent energy method, an elastic-plastic indentation model (EIM) to describe
the elastic and the elastic-plastic load-depth relations is developed for conical, spherical …

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 …

In classical mechanical testing, determining the stress and strain states of complex shape
specimens turns out to be very challenging, especially in the most deformed regions. In the …

In this study, nanoindentation induced creep in Mg metal system is investigated theoretically
as well as experimentally. Analytical equations relating indentation creep rate to penetration …

This paper is a phenomenological study representing the influence of the hardening type on
the instrumented indentation Fh curve. Spherical instrumented indentation and inverse …

In this paper, a methodology, for calculating the stress level of monotonic plastically pre-
hardened materials, using the instrumented indentation technique (IIT) coupled to the …
