The correlation of indentation experiments
TLDR
In this article, a simplified theoretical model of this behaviour is obtained by extending R. Hill's theory of expanding a cylindrical or spherical cavity in an elastic-plastic material to ensure compatibility between the volume of material displaced by the indenter and that accommodated by elastic expansion.Abstract:
The theory of rigid perfectly-plastic solids predicts indentation pressures, using wedge-shaped or conical indenters, which depend only on the geometry of the indenter and the yield stress of the material. With blunt wedges or with materials having a low ratio of Young's modulus, E, to yield stress, Y, the material displaced by the indenter is accommodated by an approximately radial expansion of the surrounding material. The indentation pressure then falls below the rigid perfectly-plastic value. In these circumstances, measurements of indentation pressure for a variety of indenter geometries are shown to correlate with the single parameter (E/Y) tan β, where β is the angle of inclination of the indenter to the surface at the edge of the indentation. This parameter may be interpreted as the ratio of the strain imposed by the indenter to the yield strain of the material.
A simplified theoretical model of this behaviour is obtained by extending R. Hill's theory of expanding a cylindrical or spherical cavity in an elastic-plastic material to ensure compatibility between the volume of material displaced by the indenter and that accommodated by elastic expansion.read more

Direct comparison of nanoindentation and tensile test results on reactor-irradiated materials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared macroscopic tensile test data (yield and flow stresses) to nanoindentation data (hardness) obtained on a number of different neutron-irradiated materials in order to understand the scaling behavior on radiation-damaged samples.

Essential refinements of spherical nanoindentation protocols for the reliable determination of mechanical flow curves
TL;DR: In this paper, a calibration procedure is proposed to account for tip shape imperfections and the constraint factor in consideration of the mechanical properties and induced strain enables the extraction of flow curves from spherical nanoindentation.

Implications of Transformation Plasticity in ZrO2‐Containing Ceramics: II, Elastic‐Plastic Indentation
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytic solution of elastic-plastic indentation using the spherical hole model is given, based on a pressure-sensitive idealized yield criterion, which correctly predicts a higher hardness and a larger plastic zone, both in quantitative agreement with the experimental observations in Mg-PSZ.

The Elastic Contact of Rough Spheres
J. A. Greenwood,J. H. Tripp +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Hertzian theory of elastic contact between spheres is extended by considering one of the spheres to be rough, so that contact occurs, as in practice, at a number of discrete microcontacts.
