Abstract

Instrumented indentation is one of the most commonly used methods to determine the mechanical properties of materials. This method is based on the penetration of a body with a known geometry into the material’s surface. Both the force (or load) necessary for this penetration and the depth of indentation have to be measured, either separately or simultaneously.
