Abstract

Determines the link among the initial unloading slope, the contact area, and the elastic modulus for elastic-plastic solid indentation. Usage of an indenter with an arbitrary axisymmetric smooth profile; Influence of initial stress on the contact area; Application of the link for mechanical property determination using indentation techniques.
