Journal ArticleDOI
An improved technique for determining hardness and elastic modulus using load and displacement sensing indentation experiments
Warren C. Oliver,George M. Pharr +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Berkovich indenter to determine hardness and elastic modulus from indentation load-displacement data, and showed that the curve of the curve is not linear, even in the initial stages of the unloading process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of hardness and elastic modulus by instrumented indentation: Advances in understanding and refinements to methodology
Warren C. Oliver,George M. Pharr +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current understanding of the mechanics governing elastic-plastic indentation as they pertain to load and depth-sensing indentation testing of monolithic materials and provide an update of how they now implement the method to make the most accurate mechanical property measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the significance of the H/E ratio in wear control: a nanocomposite coating approach to optimised tribological behaviour
Adrian Leyland,Allan Matthews +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the concept of nanocomposite coatings with high hardness and low elastic modulus, which can exhibit improved toughness, and are therefore better suited for optimising the wear resistance of real industrial substrate materials (i.e., steels and light alloys, with similarly low moduli).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocation nucleation and defect structure during surface indentation
TL;DR: In this paper, an atomistic imaging of dislocation nucleation during displacement controlled indentation on a passivated surface is presented, where defects are located and imaged by local deviations from centrosymmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the generality of the relationship among contact stiffness, contact area, and elastic modulus during indentation
TL;DR: In this paper, Sneddon's analysis for the elastic contact between a rigid, axisymmetric punch and an elastic half space is used to show that a simple relationship exists between the contact stiffness, the contact area, and the elastic modulus that is not dependent on the geometry of the punch.
