Abstract

Based on a comparison of relationships between the energy dissipated during indentation and the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus, a procedure is outlined to determine hardness and elastic modulus from the ratio of the elastic to total energy dissipated during an indentation cycle for non-ideal indenters.
