The spherical indentation response of a dense bitumen macadam asphalt mixture with two different volume fractions of bitumen binder is investigated both experimentally and via an analytical model. The model for the indentation ...

A finite element model is developed to quantify the effect of the depth and diameter of the reinforcement in the hardness number of metal matrix composite. The model includes a spherical indenter pressed against a metal ...

Although high-speed machining offers a number of advantages over conventional machining, it is possible that the residual stress distributions generated by the former can affect the service life of the processed components. ...

It is presented in this paper a method to determine the Drucker-Prager parameters of pressure-dependent elastic perfectly-plastic polymeric materials by means of depth sensing indentation. This is achieved via an inverse ...

PEO-Si/SiO2 hybrid coatings deposited onto a PVC substrate were micromechanically characterized using depth sensing indentation. The effect of curing time and coating thickness was investigated. Elastic moduli of coated ...

This work aims at performing a numerical analysis on the indentation of elastoplastic materials. The simulations are carried out using the commercial finite element code Abaqus, employing an axisymmetric model. An important ...

The feasibility of extracting First Order Ogden constitutive parameters of gelatin gels from experimental flat punch indentation curves is analyzed. Eight gelatin gel samples of different formulations are evaluated. ...
