Safety diagnosis of various structural components and facilities is indispensable for preventing catastrophic failure of material by time-dependent and environment accelerating degradation. Also, this diagnosis of operating components should be done periodically for safe maintenance and economical repair. However, conventional standard methods for mechanical properties have the problems of bulky specimen, destructive procedure and complex procedure of specimen sampling. So, a non-destructive and simple mechanical testing method using small specimen is needed. Therefore, an advanced indentation technique was developed as a potential method for non-destructive testing of in-field structures. This technique measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation such as yield strength, tensile strength and work-hardening index. In this paper, we characterized the tensile properties including yield and tensile strengths of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels in petro-chemical and thermo-electrical plants. And also, the effects of hydrogen-assisted degradation of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels were analyzed in terms of work-hardening index and yield ratio.

물성치와 하중-변위곡선을 일대일 대응 시킬 수 있는 함수를 생성함으로써, 미지 재료에 대한 압입시험 데이터로부터 바로 재료물성을 찾는 압입물성평가 기법을 제시했다. 원뿔형 압입 유한요소해석으로 압입자 중심각이 압입 하중-변위 곡선에 주는 영향을 살펴 보았다. 이로부터 한 압입자 중심각에 대해 같은 Kick's law 계수 C를 갖는 두 재료들이 압입자 중심각이 변하면 서로 다른 C 값들을 가짐을 확인했다. 이어 영률, 항복강도, 변형경화지수와 하중-변위곡선 사이의 상관관계들을 분석하고, 항복변형률이 변형경화 지수와 더불어 중요한 변수임을 확인했다. 이 두 특성들을 바탕으로 이중원뿔형 압입 물성평가 수식들을 작성했다. 1회 압입 후 재료의 영률을 평가하고, 두 압입자를 이용해 얻은 하중-변위 곡선들로부터 곡률계수들을 구해 항복변형률과 변형경화 지수를 구했다. 제시된 물성평가법은 압입 하중-변위곡선들로부터, 압입자 물성과 선단반경에 상관없이, 평균오차 2% 내에서 재료 물성값들을 준다.

본 논문에서는 cohesive zone 모델을 이용한 유한요소해석에 기초해 압입 파괴인성 평가식을 제시한다. 먼저 Vickers 압입균열해석에 기초해 다양한 물성변수(항복변형률 ${\varepsilon}_o$, 푸아송비 ${\nu}$, 영률 E)의 들이 균열크기에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 파괴인성을 압입 시 측정되는 최대하중과 균열길이로 나타낼 수 있는 수식을 회귀로 얻었다. 아울러 접촉길이 a, E/H (H: 경도) 등을 추가 압입변수로 선정해 다양한 형태의 파괴인성평가법을 제시했다. 이후 동일 압입하중에서 압입자각 및 압입자 형태와 균열 크기의 관계를 분석해 Vickers 압입 파괴인성평가법을 다양한 압입자 형태로 확장했다. 본 연구에서 제안된 평가식을 이용하면 압입시험으로 얻어지는 데이터로부터 바로 취성재료의 파괴인성을 예측할 수 있다.

The BI(Ball Indentation) method has a potential to assess the mechanical properties and to replace conventional fracture tests. In this study, the BI test system has been developed to evaluate material properties. Tensile tests, fracture toughness tests, hardness tests and BI tests were performed by the system using four classes of thermally aged specimens. The results of the BI tests were in good agreement with fracture characteristics from a standard fracture test method.

The friction surfaces of mechanical parts are heat-treated or coated with hard materials to minimize wear. Increasing the hardness is a very useful way to reduce abrasive wear. The general Brinell hardness test, which is widely used for metallic materials, is not suitable because it hardly shows any change in hardness when coated with thin films. In this study, we propose a basis for the application of the new Brinell hardness test method to the coated friction surface. An indentation analysis of the rigid sphere and elastic-perfectly plastic materials is performed using a commercial finite element analysis software. The results indicate that their loadto-diameter ratio is the same; the Brinell hardness test method can be applied even when the indenter diameter is on the micrometer scale. In the case of hard coating, it is difficult to calculate Brinell hardness using the diameter of the indentation, but the study revealed, for the first time, that it can be calculated using the depth of the indentation regardless of coating. The change in hardness owing to thin film coating over a wide load range implies that the hardness evaluation method is appropriate. Additional studies on various properties related to the substrate and coating material are required to apply the proposed method.

Nondestructive instrumented indentation test is the method to evaluate the mechanical properties by analyzing load - displacement curve when forming indentation on the surface of the specimen within hundreds of micro-indentation depth. Resistance spot welded samples are known to difficult to measure the local mechanical properties due to the combination of microstructural changes with heat input. Particularly, more difficulties arise to evaluate local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds because of having narrow HAZ, as well as dramatic changed in microstructure and hardness properties across the welds. In this study, evaluation of the local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds was carried out using the characterization of Instrumented Indentation testing. Resistance spot welding were performed for 590MPa DP (Dual Phase) steels and 780MPa TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) steels following ISO 18278-2 condition. Mechanical properties of base metal using tensile test and Instrumented Indentation test showed similar results. Also it is possible to measure local mechanical properties of the center of fusion zone, edge of fusion zone, HAZ and base metal regions by using instrumented indentation test. Therefore, measurement of local mechanical properties using instrumented indentation test is efficient, reliable and relatively simple technique to evaluate the tensile strength, yield strength and hardening exponent.

Micro/nano patterns for optical concentration and diffusion have been studied in the various fields such as displays, optics, and sensors. Conventional micro patterns were continuous and linear shapes due to using linear-type light sources, however, recently non-continuous patterns have been applied as point sources are used for dot-type light sources such as LEDs and OLEDs. In this study, a hybrid machining technology combining an indentation machining method and an AAO process was developed for manufacturing the non-continuous micro patterns having nano patterns. First, mirror-like surfaces ($R_a<20nm$) of pure Aluminum substrates were obtained by optimizing cutting conditions. Then, The letter of 'K' consisting of the arrays of the micro patterns was manufactured by the indentation machining method which has a similar principle to indentation hardness testing. Finally, nano patterns were machined by AAO process on the micro patterns. Conclusively, a specific letter having nano-micro hybrid patterns was manufactured in this study.

In the proposed research plan, the effects of anisotropic and time-dependent mechanical properties on nanoindentation measurements of osteonic lamellae in a human cortical bone are investigated. The most popular method(Oliver-Pharr method) in nanoindentation data analysis is based on the assumption of elastic isotropy. Since cortical bone has exhibited anisotropy, it is necessary to consider the effects of anisotropy on nanoindentation measurement for cortical bone. By comparison with the contact area obtained from monitoring the contact profile in FEA simulations, the Oliver-Pharr method was found to underpredict or overpredict the contact area due to effects of anisotropy. The mount of error depended on the indentation orientation. The indentation modulus results and were also similar to moduli calculated from mathematical model. The Oliver-Pharr method has been shown to be useful for providing first order approximations in analysis of anisotropic mechanical properties of cortical bone, although the indentation modulus is influenced by anisotropy.

In this study, we derived work-hardening exponent using continuous indentation test technique. Continuous indentation test technique is a powerful method to evaluate mechanical properties, such as hardness, modulus, ${\sigma}-{\varepsilon}$ curves and etc. It has many merits conventional indentation test has. The relationship between true stress and mean contact pressure and between strain and indentation depth were derived. While the indenter pushes the materials, the region around the indenter is deflected elastically. It is called elastic deflection. And pile-up phenomenon related to plastic deformation around the indenter increased the contact depth, and sink-in phenomenon decreases. So we calibrated contact depth change by considering elastic deflection and pile-up/sink-in. Using calibrated contact depth we redefined the relationship between true stress and mean contact pressure and between strain and contact depth. Through these relationship we could derive work-hardening exponent by analyzing load-depth curves. And it showed good agreement with tensile test results.

We developed a compact micro indentation testing device (designated SNUT) which is capable to measure Young's modulus of a sample using depth and applied load data during indentation. Performance of this device was evaluated using pure Ti, pure Ni, and die steel (SKD11). As a result of analysing the indentation test data, the frame compliance $C_f$ was found to influence mainly the modulus by 80% among several factors affecting accuracy of Young's modulus. Project area, which was determined by indirect indentation method, was modified using direct SEM observation. Finally, Young's modulus error was reduced to 5% after taking into consideration the frame compliance and modified projected area from 80% error without any these two correction factors. The performance of SNUT and MTS instruments was compared using same specimen (pure Ti).
