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

For conical indentation, the strain energy is a function of the semi-vertical cone angle, the
indentation depth and the stress-strain relation. According to equivalent energy principle of …

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

Spherical indentation has the potential for measuring the elastic–plastic properties of a
power-law hardening bulk specimen with just one simple test. In this paper, based on a new …

Spherical indentation is studied based on numerical analysis and experiment, to develop
robust testing techniques to evaluate isotropic elastic–plastic material properties of metals …

A unified elastoplastic model was proposed to describe the relation among load,
displacement, and uniaxial constitutive parameters of ductile materials according to the von …

Applying mechanical stresses is a possible approach to suppress dendrite and mossy
lithium (Li) in Li metal electrodes. We conducted, in this work, nanoindentation tests on pure …

We propose an improved technique to determine the plastic properties of a bulk material
from the load–displacement curve from only one conical indentation test. This technique has …

An approach for the inverse estimation of the elastoplastic properties from a single
indentation with a Berkovich indenter was developed. The relationship between the load …

Tensile elastoplastic properties are extensively used in engineering applications; however,
sample preparation for tensile tests is time-consuming. Therefore, a technique to estimate …
