Abstract

The development of cracks inside the material is usually investigated on the entire production by means of non destructive inspection techniques. Unfortunately, the progress of ductile damage cannot be observed with these techniques because of the small dimensions of the single cavity. In the present study we propose to employ a micro-hardness test to induce the presence and evolution of damaging inside the material. The influence of damage on the material hardness was assessed by Finite Elements numerical experiments. The study shows that changes in material porosity give rise to sensible changes in the hardness value.
