A Novel Method to Extract the Plastic Properties of Metal Materials from a Continuous Spherical Indentation Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cao and Lu had built a method to acquire the properties of materials. But they neglected the influence of strain hardening exponent n by introducing the representative strain which didan’t have any physical meaning. A new method from a continuous spherical indentation test was built, the influence of strain hardening exponent n were considered and the formulas of dimensionless functions defined in their work were improved in this present paper. Then the computational results from the new method and the actual results were compared and the error is about 8%.
