Essential refinements of spherical nanoindentation protocols for the reliable determination of mechanical flow curves

Understanding and linking mechanical properties obtained by spherical indentation experiments to uniaxial data is extremely challenging. Since the first attempts in the early 20th century numerous advances gradually allowed to expand the output of indentation tests. Still, the extraction of flow cur...
