Depth-sensing indentation measurements with Vickers and Berkovich indenters

Journal of Materials Research, 1998
Depth-sensing indentation measurements are performed with two different Vickers indenters and one Berkovich indenter. The sample materials were mirror polished Ag, Al, Au, Ni, and Ti samples. From the load-indentation depth data, the conventional hardness plots as well as the first derivative are calculated.

Indentation load relaxation experiments with indentation depth in the submicron range

Journal of Materials Research, 1990
Indentation load relaxation (ILR) experiments with indentation depths in the submicron range are described. Under appropriate conditions, the ILR data are found to yield flow curves of the same shape as those based on conventional load relaxation data.

Determination of indenter tip geometry and indentation contact area for depth-sensing indentation experiments

Journal of Materials Research, 1998
The phenomena of pile-up and sink-in associated with nanoindentation have been found to have large effects on the measurements of the indentation modulus and hardness of copper. Pile-up (or sink-in) leads to contact areas that are greater than (or less than) the cross-sectional area of the indenter at a given depth.

Depth-sensing indentation of nanomaterials and nanostructures

Materials Characterization, 2013
Due to its capacity for applying ultralow loads and detecting nanometer-scale deflections, nanoindentation has been used to investigate the mechanical behavior of various material configurations at the micro- and nano-scales. The emphasis of the article is on the nanoscale deformation of nanoparticles, micro/nanopillars, microbeams, micro/nanofibers ...

Depth-sensing indentation at macroscopic dimensions

Journal of Materials Research, 2002
A macroscopic-scale depth-sensing indentation apparatus with the ability to be mounted on an inverted microscope for in situ observation of contact events was calibrated using the Oliver and Pharr [J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564 (1992)] procedure with a two-parameter area function.

Indentation Depth Dependent Hardness in Polydimethylsiloxane

Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology; Energy Water Nexus; Globalization of Engineering; Posters, 2011
Size dependent deformation in polymers has been observed in various experiments including microbeam bending, foams, composites and indentation. For indentation depths from 100 microns down to hundreds of nanometers strong increases in the hardness has been observed where the hardness has been determined with a Berkovich indenter tip on ...

The Indentation Load-depth Curve of Ceramics

Journal of Materials Research, 1999
The pyramidal indentation-induced surface deformation of brittle ceramics is examined on the basis of extensive test results for indentation load (P)-depth (h) curves during loading/unloading cycle. A mechanically stiff test system is essential for obtaining P-h curves acceptable and reliable for subsequent analyses.

Simplified Area Function for Sharp Indenter Tips in Depth-sensing Indentation

Journal of Materials Research, 2002
A two-parameter “area function” characterizing the depth-dependent projected area of an indenter was introduced and applied to a Berkovich tip. The two parameters have physical meaning, corresponding to the effective tip radius and effective cone angle. The indenter tip was calibrated on a commercial load-controlled Nano Indentert® XP (MTS Systems Corp.

Measurement of residual stress by load and depth sensing indentation with spherical indenters

Journal of Materials Research, 2001
A new experimental technique is presented for making measurements of biaxial residual stress using load and depth sensing indentation (nanoindentation). The technique is based on spherical indentation, which, in certain deformation regimes, can be much more sensitive to residual stress than indentation with sharp pyramidal indenters like the Berkovich.

Inference of Mechanical Properties from Instrumented Depth Sensing Indentation at Tiny Loads and Indentation Depths

Crystal Research and Technology, 2000
Different hardness measures as Vickers, Brinell and Meyer hardness are discussed with respect to their physical interpretation. Meyer hardness is found to be best suited as a measure of plastic properties. The outline of a depth sensing nanoindentation experiment is described, and particular emphasis is given to the correct deduction of the contact ...
