Energy dissipated during spherical indentation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2011
Abstract
A relationship is derived for spherical indentation relating the dissipated energy to the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus and the ratio of indentation depth to radius. The result agrees with recent findings obtained on the basis of scaling relationships in combination with finite element simulations. Furthermore, relationships are given for hardness, elastic modulus and contact area, which permit a determination of these properties independent of the strain hardening characteristics and independent of pileup and sink-in.
