The work aims to obtain the local mechanical parameters of carburized layer of CiNi steel. Tensile test and nano-indentation test were carried out for CrNi steel, stress-strain curve and load-displacement curve were then obtained. The finite element model of nano-indentation was built, and a model for obtaining the local mechanical parameters of carburized layer from load-displacement curve was established combined with dimension analysis. The mechanical parameters of pure iron and carburized layer of CrNi steel were calculated. The results show that, the dimension analysis model is accurate for predicting the mechanical properties of pure iron, the model accuracy is verified. The local mechanical parameters of carburized layer are predicted by the model, the simulated load-replacement curve based on the predicted mechanical parameters is in good agreement with the experimental result, it shows that the prediction result of the model is reasonable.

This paper will discuss two different techniques to measure mechanical properties of thin film, bulge test and nano-indentation test. In the bulge test, uniform pressure applies to one side of thin film. Measurement of the membrane deflection as a function of the applied pressure allows one to determine the mechanical properties such as the elastic modulus and the residual stress. Nano-indentation measurements are accomplished by pushing the indenter tip into a sample and then withdrawing it, recording the force required as a function of position. . In this study, modified King’s model can be used to estimate the mechanical properties of the thin film in order to avoid the effect of substrates. Both techniques can be used to determine Young’s modulus or Poisson’s ratio, but in both cases knowledge of the other variables is needed. However, the mathematical relationship between the modulus and Poisson's ratio is different for the two experimental techniques. Hence, achieving agreement between the techniques means that the modulus and Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus of thin films can be determined with no a priori knowledge of either.

Abstract Electrical discharge machined surfaces inherently possess recast layer on the surface with heat affected zone (HAZ) beneath it and these have a detrimental effect on the mechanical properties viz. hardness, elastic modulus, etc. It is very difficult to experimentally characterise each machined surface. Therefore, an attempt is made in this study to numerically calculate the mechanical properties of the parent material, HAZ and the recast layer on a hemispherical protruded micro feature fabricated by reverse micro EDM (RMEDM). In the 1st stage, nano indentation was performed to experimentally determine the load-displacement plots, elastic modulus and hardness of the parent material, HAZ and the recast layer. In the 2nd stage, FEA simulation was carried out to mimic the nano indentation process and determine the load-displacement plots for all the three cases viz. parent material, recast layer and HAZ. Results demonstrated that the load'displacement plots obtained from numerical model in each case was in good agreement with that of the experimental curves. Based on simulated load-displacement plots, hardness was also calculated for parent material, HAZ and the recast layer. A maximum of 11% error was observed between simulated values of hardness and experimentally determined values.

This paper investigates the “pop-in” behavior of monocrystalline silicon under nanoindentation with a Berkovich indenter. The indentation tests were carried out under ultra-low loads, i.e. 100 μN and 300 μN, with different loading/unloading rates. It was found that with the experimentally determined area function of the indenter tip, the mechanical properties of silicon can be accurately calculated from the load-displacement data, that a pop-in event represents the onset of phase transition, and that a lower loading rate favours a sudden volume change but a rapid loading process tends to generate a gradual slope change of the load-displacement curve.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the cyclic interfacial strength between thin film and its substrate by cyclic nano-indentation tests. The specimen used in this study is PET substrate/ITO coatings layered specimen. From the indentation load and displacement curve, we proposed an evaluation method for the interfacial strength. The results are good agreement with the interfacial strength evaluated by peel test. After cyclic indentations, the surface profile was observed by atomic force microscope. The number of elongates increased with indentation cycles when the indentation load is low, whereas elongates number is almost constant under high load cases. These phenomena can be explained by simple models. In this study, two types of fracture modes are proposed. They are “subsidiary fracture mode” and “buckling mode”.

In order to study the mechanical properties of the joints, ANSYS software was used to simulate and analyse the failure form, ultimate bearing capacity, load-displacement curve and the rotational stiffness of the wheel-coupler joint node under force. Results: The wheel-coupler joint node has obvious non-linear characteristics when subjected to force; The bilateral symmetric tension and compression state could better reflect the failure form and deformation of the joint; The rotational stiffness of the wheel-coupler joint node under tension and bending was greater than that under bending and torsion, and was greater than that under tension, bending and torsion.

In the last decade, instrumented indentation test has been widely used to determine the mechanical properties of different materials and especially for metals. The mechanical properties such as Young modulus, yield stress, hardening exponent, and stress-strain curve were determined with the help of the load–displacement curve of the continuous indentation test. The method consists of pushing an indenter in a material sample and the applied load and the indenter displacement are measured. In this research the load on the indenter was considered as cyclic and varied from zero to Fmax. Because of the Bauschinger effect, the hysteresis loops were formed. With the help of these hysteresis loops, nonlinear kinematic hardening parameters of the Armstrong–Freiderick (A-F) model can be determined. Spherical indenter was used and the sample was considered isotropic. The material behavior was modeled by the A-F rule. The test was modeled by the finite element method. An axi-symmetric mesh was used. The A–F model constants, C and γ, were varied to obtain their effects on the hysteresis loops. Maximum applied load was considered constant for different finite element modeling and the maximum and residual displacements were calculated from the simulations results. The normalized maximum and the residual displacements were increased as a function of the cycles. It was shown that these parameters value and their rate are dependent on the material model constants. These dependences were shown for different examples which can help to characterize the A-F model constants by the cyclic spherical indentation tests.

Great interests have been made over the last few years in the development of techniques to measure the mechanical properties of many engineering materials at the nano scale. In nano-indentation, a hard tip with known mechanical properties is pressed into a sample whose properties are unknown. The load, indentation depth and deformed area resulting from this test are then used to determine the desired mechanical properties, such as hardness and modulus. In this study, the computer-based finite element analysis (FEA) method is used to investigate factors effecting nano-indentation to ensure reliable measurement of thin film properties. First, the FEA method is used to predict the mechanical response of bulk aluminum (Al) using a spherical indenter. The numerical prediction is then compared with existing published results to validate the FEA modeling scheme. Once the model is validated, additional numerical analyses are conducted to investigate the response of Al-film deposited on different substrate materials. New mathematical formulations are proposed to determine the film modulus from nano-indentation test. The film modulus obtained from the new and existing mathematical formulations are also compared. Results obtained from this research can be used to characterize the mechanical properties of soft biological materials such as biofilm or tissue scaffolds.

A New Technique

Multilayers of tungsten carbide/carbon (WC/C) deposited by physical vapor deposition onto steel substrates were subjected to depth-sensing indentation testing. The investigation aimed at probing the influence of dissimilarities between the microstructure of the multilayers and substrate on the system mechanical properties. The resultant load-displacement data were analyzed both by conventional load-displacement (P-δ) and load-displacement squared (P-δ2) plots. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the occurrence of annular through-thickness cracks around the indentation sites can be identified from the load-displacement curve. Also, analysis of the lower part of the unloading curve permitted us to identify whether the coating had popped up by localized fracture. The cracking mechanism was characterized using a new technique for cross-sectional electron microscopy of the nanoindentations. The information retrieved with this technique eliminates the problems, inherent in assessing at this small contact scales, whether the fracture is by coating decohesion or by interfacial failure. In our case, it was demonstrated that the failure mechanism was decohesion of the carbon lamellae within the multilayers. The mechanical properties (hardness and effective Young's modulus) were also assessed by nanoindentation. The hysteresis loops were analyzed and discussed in terms of the method developed by Oliver and Pharr [J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564 (1992)].
