One common method for the determination of full range stress-strain curves by instrumented indentation is presented and validated for an aluminium alloy. This method relates properties describing the indentation force-depth curve with those describing the uniaxial stress-strain curve as traditionally obtained from a tensile test. The first aim of this paper is to explain the basic concepts of instrumented indentation. Next, the analysis method is presented and validated. This study ends with discussing the uniqueness of the obtained solution. It is concluded that accurate determination of stress-strain behaviour can be realized, but for certain materials two indentations are needed.

Abstract Experimental determination of the elongation at which crystallization commences in vulcanized rubber has been attempted through measurement of density changes by a hydrostatic method. The critical elongation for incipient crystallization appears to depend on the temperature, in approximate accordance with theoretical prediction. Crystallization sets in at an elongation well below that at which the stress-strain curve assumes a steep slope.

A new inverse method has been developed for the simultaneous derivation of tensile and compressive stress strain behaviour from bending tests only. This new procedure can be applied to materials having asymmetric tensile and compressive stress strain behaviour and also materials that have been previously strain hardened (Bauschinger Effect). This paper presents results obtained using the new method and compares them with experimentally obtained tensile and compressive stress strain curves. The agreement of the derived stress strain data in tension and compression is encouraging.
