Abstract

Depth-sensing indentation testing has proven extremely useful in the determination of mechanical properties of thin films and small volumes of material. However, the validity of the results obtained depend largely on the corrections made to the experimentally recorded data to account for initial penetration depth, nonuniformities in indenter shape, and compliance of the loading frame. The present work examines each of these issues and presents potential methods of correction for them. The present work also highlights limitations inherent in the data analysis methods and the significance of these in terms of experimental test parameters.
