“…Recently, depth-sensing indentation (DSI) has become widely accepted as an alternative approach for mechanically characterizing bulk solids due to the associated simple sample preparation and the need for only a very small volume of testing material [26]. The use of DSI provides an opportunity for measuring the SRS using nanoindentation testing and recently there are reports describing the measuring of SRS from nanoindentation of various UFG metals including Al [27,28], Cu [28,29], Mg alloys [30,31], Ni [28], Sn-Ag-Cu [32], Zn-Al [28,33] a CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy [34,35] and an AlMg nanocomposite [36]. However, an evaluation shows that relatively little information is available comparing the values of the SRS measured for the same material using conventional tensile testing and nanoindentation and it is reasonable to anticipate that these two different straining conditions may affect the measurements of SRS.…”
