Static indentation and dynamic indentation are reviewed, with a focus on extraction of
material properties of isotropic strain-hardening polycrystalline metals that may be rate-and …

Small specimen test techniques (SSTTs), developed for scarce materials, industrial
products, in-service equipment, etc., could be challenging to obtain sufficient materials for …

Impact mechanics of micron-scale, Al-6061 particles on sapphire and Al-6061 substrates
were investigated experimentally and through simulations. Particle impact experiments were …

Indentation is a simple and one of the oldest small-scale test methods for characterizing the
mechanical response of materials. Recently, there has been a growing interest in dynamic …

The mechanical characteristics and deformation mechanisms of Cu 80 Ta 20/Cu 20 Ta 80
amorphous/amorphous nanolaminates under the nanoindentation are still unclear. In this …

As a fundamental test technique for the mechanical properties of materials, indentation
shows broad application prospects. Compared to the well-studied quasi-static indentation …

Near-surface voids and pores are generated in metal processing operations as diverse as
additive manufacturing and powder processing, but their effect on indentation hardness has …

High strain rates and continuous real-time data acquisition are difficult to balance in existing
impact indentation techniques. Meanwhile, the inaccuracy of the testing Ph curves limits the …

Ti/β-Ti laminated composite, which exhibits an exceptional combination of the good ductility
of pure Ti and the high strength of the β-Ti alloy, has been extensively applied for biomedical …

In this paper, we have studied the hypervelocity expansion of a spherical cavity in an infinite
medium modeled with the extension of the porous plasticity criterion of Gurson (1977) …
