Equivalent-energy indentation method to predict the tensile properties of light alloys

The EIM (equivalent-energy indentation method) based on equivalent energy principle is proposed to determine the stress-strain relations of materials via spherical indentation. For various materials in power hardening law, plenty of finite element simulations were conducted to verify this novel meth...
