The Instrumented Indentation Test: An Aiding Tool for Material Science and Industry
Summary
This review examines instrumented indentation testing — a method for measuring the mechanical properties of materials by pressing a hard tip into their surface. The technique is useful for characterizing plastics, metals, and other engineering materials without destroying the sample.
Engineering materials encompass a wide spectrum of structural–functional products that are commonly used in the transportation (automotive, aerospace, naval), construction, machinery, and tooling industries [...]
