Effects of Indenter Tilt on Nanoindentation Results of Fused Silica: an Investigation by Finite Element Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In reality, it is a common phenomenon to perform nanoindentation test while the indenter is not perpendicular to the sample, which would cause the properties such as hardness and elastic modulus of sample to be somehow different from the true values. In this paper, the effects of indenter tilt on the results of nanoindentation were studied by finite element analysis (FEA) simulation. The results were compared with indenter perpendicularly penetrating into a flat surface. Conclusions show that when the tilt indenter penetrates into specimen, the projected contact area varies widely. The tilt indentation could significantly influence the tendency of the force-displacement curves, and could also affect the hardness and elastic modulus of the specimen that obtained from the results. Finally, a simple method is given to correct the values of projected area, hardness and elastic modulus once tilt indentation happens. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2012400]

A precise correcting method for the study of the superhard material using nanoindentation tests
The accurate description of the indentation load–displacement relationship of an elastic sharp indenter indenting into an elastic half-space is critical for analyzing the nanoindentation data of superhard materials using the procedure proposed by Oliver and Pharr [J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564 (1992)]. A further discussion on this issue is made in the present work to reconcile the apparent inconsisten...

An experimental study on the indentation hardness of NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) by using a spherical indenter tip and a finite element investigation to understand the experimental results are presented in this paper. It is shown that the spherical indentation hardness of NiTi SMAs increases with the indentation depth. The finding is contrary to the recent study on the hardness of NiTi SMAs...

Surface roughness is a commonly used criterion for characterization of surface quality in a machining operation. In the study of micro-scale mechanical properties of machined surface and cutting tool using nanoindentation method, perfect surface finish on the specimen is often required for the reliable indentation result. However, the perfect surface finish is often difficult to obtain from the...

All impact analyses performed so far for the composite plates, have treated central impacts. Furthermore, investigations on influences of the in-plane biaxial compression, tension, or tension-compression preloads on various responses of the low-velocity impact, especially the indentation, have not been performed so far. In the present research, a finite element formulation is presented for resp...
