Effect Of Poisson’S Ratio On Material Properties Characterization By Nanoindentation With A Cylindrical Flat Tip Indenter, Md Mehadi Hassan Jan 2016

Effect Of Poisson’S Ratio On Material Properties Characterization By Nanoindentation With A Cylindrical Flat Tip Indenter, Md Mehadi Hassan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nano indentation technology is commonly used to determine the mechanical properties of different kinds of engineering materials. The young’s modulus of the materials can be calculated with the load depth data obtained from an indentation test with a known Poisson’s ratio. In this investigation the NANOVEA micro/nanoindentation tester with a cylindrical flat-tip indenter will be used to find the elastic modulus, hardness and Pile up. Low carbon steel AISI1018, alloy steel AISI 4340 and aluminum alloy 6061 were selected for the case study. Finite element (FE) analysis using axisymmetric 3-D models used to establish the relationship between Poisson’s ratio and …
