Post-yield characterisation of metals with significant pile-up through spherical indentations

Finite element simulations of spherical indentations accounting for frictional contact provide validated load-indentation output for assessing and improving existing methods used to determine the stress-strain curve of materials with significant pile-up. The importance of friction to the proper asse...

520 |a Finite element simulations of spherical indentations accounting for frictional contact provide validated load-indentation output for assessing and improving existing methods used to determine the stress-strain curve of materials with significant pile-up. The importance of friction to the proper assessment of the pile-up effect is established. Weaknesses in current characterisation relations and procedures are also identified. Existing correction formulae accounting for pile-up are modified so that the contact area radius is more accurately determined. This modification is implemented in the context of a characterisation process that relies on analysing unloading portions of load-indentation curves. Post-yield material behaviour predictions from such analysis are found to be in very good agreement with the initial finite element material input.
