Mechanical property measurement by indentation techniques

The mechanical properties of materials are usually evaluated by performing a tensile or hardness test on the sample. Tensile tests are often time consuming, destructive and need specially prepared specimens. On the other hand, there is no direct theoretical correlation between the hardness number an...
