Instrumented indentation studies on metallic and SMART materials

This work explores instrumented indentation methodology, both theoretically and experimentally, for mechanical properties of ductile metals and alloys including shape memory alloys. The objective is to conduct instrumented indention experiments with both spherical and sharp indenters on commonly ava...
