The measurement from the indentation process depends on the amount of pile-up or sink-in around the contact impressions. In this paper, finite element concept is utilized to study the pile-up and sink-in behaviour for the wide range of materials with different young's modulus, yield stresses, strain-hardening exponents and coefficient of friction values. The exact indentation model is created by using the two dimensional axisymmetrical model for simulating the spherical indentation process on the lines of Taljat and Pharr (2004) work. The result shows that during spherical indentation process the amount of pile-up is greatly influenced by the strain hardening exponents in addition to other material properties and depth of penetration. The numerical results from the finite element analysis are also validated using the exact multilinear material properties obtained from the tensile testing for the materials like mild steel, brass and aluminium.

For the structural integrity of large and complex structures such as railway vehicle, the in-field diagnosis of mechanical properties of the structures is needed, and especially, the mechanical characteristics of the weldment must be carefully evaluated. But, conventional standard testing methods having destructive procedures are not applicable to in-field assessment of mechanical property variations within weldment because they needs the limitations of specimen size and geometry. In this paper, to overcome this problems, the advanced indentation technique (AIS) is introduced for simple and non-destructive/in-field testing of weldment of industrial structures. This test measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation and fracture. First of all, flow properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and work hardening index can be evaluated through the analysis of the deformation behavior beneath the spherical indenter. Additionally, case studies of advanced indentation techniques are introduced.

A statistical evaluation method was proposed to evaluate mechanical properties by using small specimens and nano-indentation for irradiation study. The method is empirically based on nano-indentation which values are statistically treated. The nano-indentation in function of indentation depth (h) is expressed using the variation factor V(h). Statistical parameters of the indentation are given by histograms. Analytical and experimental relation between histograms of phase dimension distribution and parameters V(h) and G(h) is considered using the condition of additivity of phases' microhardness. The method is applied to estimate mechanical properties of irradiated materials.

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.

The pressure drop and heat transfer of the spirally indented tubes were measured and analyzed. Eight sample tubes of indentation depth 0.4, 0.7mm and indentation pitch 10, 14, 20, 26mm were used in this experimental tests. And all the tubes have same outer diameter of 16mm, and same indentation start number of I. Air was used as the internal fluid from 10000 to 50000 for Reynolds Number. The friction factors and heat transfer coefficients have increased when indentation depths increase and indentation pitches decrease. Finally, the correlations were made between the effect of the tube geometry and characteristics of tubes for the pressure drop and heat transfer.

The background of this study lies in he investigation of the formation mechanism of ductile mode(nkanometer-size) chips of brittle materials such as fine ceramics glass and silicon. As the first step to achieve this purpose this paper intends to observe the micro-deformation behavior of these materials in sub${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ depth indentation tests using a diamond indentor. In this study it was developed Ultra-Micro Indentation. Device using the PZT actuator. Experimentally by using the Ultra-Micro Indentation device the micro fracture behavior of the silicon wafer was investigated. It was possible that ductile-brittle transition point in ultimate surface of brittle material can be detected by adding an acoustic emission sensor system to the Ultra-Micro Indentation appartus.

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 instrumented 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. The residual stress from the indentation method was compared with that from the saw-cutting method.

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.

The present work reviews the methods to evaluate elastic-plastic material characteristics by indentation tests. Especially the representative stress and strain values used in some papers are critically analyzed. The values should not only represent the load-depth curve, but also represent the whole of deformed material around the impression. We briefly introduce other indentation techniques to evaluate residual stresses, creep properties, and fracture toughness. We also review some technical problems that are related to the accuracy issues in indentation tests.

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. The residual stress from the indentation method was compared with that from the saw-cutting method.
