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

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 …

A comprehensive computational study was undertaken to identify the extent to which elasto-
plastic properties of ductile materials could be determined from instrumented sharp …

Finite element simulation of conical indentation of a wide variety of elastic-plastic materials
has been used to investigate the influences of pileup on the accuracy with which hardness …

This paper reviews commonly used methods of analysing and interpreting nanoindentation
test data, with a particular emphasis on the testing of thin films. The popularity of …

In this paper, we describe recent advances and developments for the measurement of
fracture toughness at small scales by the use of nanoindentation-based methods including …

This paper describes nanoindentation experiments on thin films of polycrystalline Al of
known texture and different thicknesses, and of single crystal Al of different crystallographic …

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

A methodology for interpreting instrumented sharp indentation with dual sharp indenters
with different tip apex angles is presented by recourse to computational modeling within the …

Indentation tests have for a long time been a standard method for material characterization
as they provide an easy, inexpensive, non-destructive and objective method of evaluating …
