Examining the Effect of Pileup on the Accuracy of Sharp Indentation Testing

One essential problem related to instrumented indentation is the effect of pileup, which could introduce significant errors on the measured hardness and elastic modulus. In this work, we have assessed some critical issues associated with instrumented indentation by means of numerical simulation. Dim...
