Abstract

The present work is concerned with the methods of simulation of data obtained from depth-sensing submicron indentation testing. Details of analysis methods for both spherical and Berkovich indenters using multiple or single unload points are presented followed by a detailed treatment of a method for simulating an experimental load–displacement response where the material properties such as elastic modulus and hardness are given as inputs. A comparison between simulated and experimental data is given.
