A Study of Indentation Creep Using the Finite Element Method

Indentation is a useful technique for studying the mechanical properties of a material. Measurable mechanical properties from indentation include time-dependent as well as time independent properties. Among these mechanical properties, time-dependent permanent deformation (creep) is of interest in t...
