In this work, the prior indentation theory for a bulk material is extended to an indentation theory for evaluation of thin-film material properties. We first select the optimal data acquisition location, where the strain gradient is the least and the effect of friction is negligible. A new numerical approach to the thin-film indentation technique is then proposed by examining the finite element solutions at the optimal point. With this new approach, from the load-depth curve, we obtain the values of Young's modulus, yield strength, strain-hardening exponent. The average errors of those values are less than 3, 5, 8% respectively.

Due to the self-similarity of Berkovich and conical indenters, different materials may show the same loaddepth curve for single indentation. In this study, we first compare the load-depth characteristics of conical and Berkovich indenters via finite element method. We also analyze the variation of load-depth curves with angle of Berkovich indenter, indentation parameters, and material properties. With numerical regressions of obtained data, we then propose dual-Berkovich indentation formulae for material property evaluation. The proposed approach provides the values of elastic modulus, yield strength and strain-hardening exponent and corresponding stress-strain curve with an average error of less than 3%. The method is valid for any elastic indenters made of tungsten carbide and diamond for instance.

Mechanical properties such as Young's modulus and hardness of thin film in coated steel are difficult to determine by nano-indentation from the conventional analysis using the load-displacement curve. Therefore, an analysis of the nano-indentation loading-unloading curve was used to determine the Young's modulus, hardness. A new method is recently being developed for elastic-plastic properties of materials from nano-indentation. Elastic modulus of the thin films shows relatively small influence whereas yield strength is found to have significant effect on measured data. The load-displacement curves of material tested with a Berkovich indenter and nano-indentation continuous stiffness method is used to measure the modulus and hardness through thin films, and then these are computed using the analysis procedure. The developed neural networks apply also to obtain reliable mechanical properties.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are first examined via [mite element (FE) analyses. An optimal data acquisition spot is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions. which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/compression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress.strain curve with an average error less than 3%.

마이크로/나노 압입시험에 사용되는 각뿔 혹은 원뿔형 압입자의 선단 형상은 제작한계 및 사용 중 마모 등으로 인해 필수적으로 곡면 형태를 띄게 된다. 많은 압입시험 관련 연구에서 각뿔형 압입자의 선단 형상은 편의상 구형으로 가정한 후, 얕은 압입에 대한 구형압입 이론식을 적용하고 있다. 이러한 가정에는 근본적으로 두 가지 문제점이 있는데, 첫 번째로 이론해의 정확성은 재료 물성치 및 압입자 형상에 따라 변화한다는 점이며, 두 번째로 각뿔형 압입자의 실제 선단 형상은 이상적인 구형이 아니라는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석에 기반하여 압입시험에 미치는 이 두 요소의 영향을 분석한다. 먼저 탄성 구형 압입시험에 대해 푸아송비와 하중-변위 곡선의 상관관계를 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 수정된 구형 탄성 압입 관계식을 제시한다. 이어 가정된 Berkovich 선단 형상의 3차원 유한요소해석으로부터 압입깊이에 따른 하중-변위 곡선의 특성을 분석한다.

Approaches for analyzing indentation hardness are still controversial, although the instrumented indentation technique has been generalized as one powerful method that can record surface deformation behaviors. Material pile-ups around the indenter/surface contact region make the conventional Oliver and Pharr's analysis on the instrumented indentation curve inaccurate. Thus, in order to prove the validity of the hardness analyses, five approaches were applied to the experimental data obtained from fused quartz and (100) monocrystalline tungsten specimens; an elastic recovery analysis on instrumented indentation curves, three indentation work analyses on the unit plastic volume, and a differentiation analysis on remnant indentation morphologies were tried. Five kinds of indentation hardness overlapped on one result plot showed the validity of each analysis. The modified indentation work approach based on a new definition of plastic volume showed consistent results with those from the Oliver-Pharr's and image differentiation methods. In the case of pile-up accompanying deformation, the Oliver-Pharr's and image differentiation methods showed the upper and lower limits of indentation hardness, respectively.

가동 중인 설비 및 대형 구조물은 장시간 사용, 고온 환경 및 반복되는 하중 등의 영향으로 설비재료의 교체 및 유지 보수가 요구된다. 이때 설비의 기계적 특성을 평가하는 것은 필수 불가결한 요소 이지만 대부분의 물성평가방법이 파괴적이기 때문에 가동 중인 설비에 직접 적용하는 것은 상당한 어려움이 따른다. 그러나 계장화 압입시험법은 다양한 기계적인 특성을 비파괴적으로 측정하는 최신기술로서 재료에 하중 인가 및 제거 과정 중 하중과 변위를 연속적으로 측정하여 획득된 압입하중-변위곡선의 분석을 통해 유동물성, 잔류응력, 파괴인성 등의 기계적 특성을 평가 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 계장화 압입시험을 이용하여 철강재료 및 용접부 유동물성과 잔류응력을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 계장화 압입시험 시 발생하는 압입자 하부의 응력 상태를 고려하여 유동응력과 변형률을 정의하고, 이를 최적화된 응력-변형률 구성방정식을 통해 유동곡선 및 항복강도, 인장강도 등의 유동물성을 평가 하였다. 계장화 압입시험을 이용하여 잔류응력을 측정하기 위해 소성변형과 직접 관련된 편차 응력 성분만으로 압입변형과 잔류응력 간의 상호작용을 분석하여 잔류응력 모델을 정의하였다. 측정된 유동물성은 일축인장시험의 결과를 통해 그 정확성을 검증하였고, 잔류응력은 홀-드릴링, 절단법 및 ED-XRD 시험과 비교하여 그 모델을 검증하였다.

As huge energy transfer systems like a nuclear power plant, steam power plant and petrochemical plant are operated for a long time, mechanical properties are changed by degradation. The life time of the systems can be affected by the mechanical properties. So determination of the integrity of the metallic structure is required either to en4sure that failure will not occur during the service life of the components or to evaluate the lifetime extension of the structure. An automated ball indentation(ABI) method was developed as a non-destructive technique for evaluating the integrity of such metallic components. In this paper, we would like to present the aging evaluation technique by the ABI method. The five classes of the thermally aged CF8M specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. After holding 100, 300, 900, 1800 and 3600 hours at 43$0^{\circ}C$, the specimens were cooled down using water to room temperature respectively. The tensile test, hardness test, charpy impact test, ABI test were performed. The results of the fracture test were compared with those of ABI test and the new evaluation technique of the integrity of metallic structures was developed.

Residual stress is a dominant obstacle to efficient production and safe usage of device by deteriorating the mechanical strength and failure properties. Therefore, we proposed a new thin film stress-analyzing technique using a nanoindentation method. For this aim, the shape change in the indentation load-depth curve during the stress-relief in film was theoretically modeled. The change in indentation depth by load-controlled stress relaxation process was related to the increase or decrease in the applied load using the elastic flat punch theory. Finally, the residual stress in thin film was calculated from the changed applied load based on the equivalent stress interaction model. The evaluated stresses for diamond-like carbon films from this nanoindentation analysis were consistent with the results from the conventional curvature method.

Apparent mechanical properties in structural components can be different from the initially designed values due to the formation of the residual stress in metal forming and welding. Therefore, the evaluation of residual stress has great importance in the reliability diagnosis of structural components. A nondestructive continuous indentation technique has been proposed to evaluate various strength concerning mechanical properties from the analysis of load-depth curve. In this study, quantitative residual stress estimation on API X65 welded joints for natural gas pipeline was performed by analyzing the variation of indentation loading curve by residual stress through a new proposed theoretical model.
