“…by comparing the load-displacement curves, in the case of nanoindentation. It maybe noted that FEM has been applied successfully in the simulation of nanoindentation problem [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

Determination of the mechanical properties of individual sand grains by conventional material testing methods at the macroscale is somewhat difficult due to the sizes of the individual sand particles (a few μm to mm). In this paper, we used the nanoindentation technique with a Berkovich tip to measure the Young's modulus, hardness, and fracture toughness. An inverse problem solving approach was adopted to determine the stress-strain relationship of sand at the granular level using the finite element method. A cube-corner indenter tip was used to generate radial cracks, the lengths of which were used to determine the fracture toughness. Scatter in the data was observed, as is common with most brittle materials. In order to consider the overall mechanical behavior of the sand grains, statistical analysis of the mechanical properties data (including the variability in the properties) was conducted using the Weibull distribution function. This data can be used in the mesoscale simulations.

“…However, most of them use bi-dimensional analyses with spherical and conical indenters, and sometimes a load distribution is used instead of the indenter (see, e.g., Murakami and Yuang, 1992;Laursen and Simo, 1992;Sun et al, 1995;Cai and Bangert, 1995;Kral et al, 1993;Bolshakov et al, 1996;Taljat et al, 1998;Nix, 1988, 1991). Some works (see, e.g., Zeng et al, 1995;Wang and Bangert, 1993;Antunes et al, 2002b), show results from three-dimensional numerical simulations of the hardness tests with Vickers indenter, but in general do not take into account the friction, between the indenter and the indented material, and the existence of the offset in the tip of the indenter.…”

The development of depth sensing indentation equipment has allowed easy and reliable determination of two of the most popular measured mechanical properties of materials: the hardness and the YoungÕs modulus. However, some difficulties emerge in the experimental procedure to calculate accurate values of these properties. This is related to, for example, the tip geometrical imperfections of the diamond pyramidal indenter and the definition of the contact area at the maximum load. Being so, numerical simulation of ultramicrohardness tests can be a helpful tool for better understanding of the influence of these parameters on procedures for determining the hardness and the YoungÕs modulus. For this purpose, specific finite element simulation software, HAFILM, was developed to simulate the ultramicrohardness tests. Different mesh refinements were tested because of the dependence between the values of the mechanical properties and the size of the finite element mesh. Another parameter studied in this work is the value of the friction coefficient between the indenter and the sample in the numerical simulation. In order to obtain numerical results close to reality, a common geometry and size of the imperfection of the tip of Vickers indenter was taken into account for the numerical description of the indenter.

Indentation as a method to characterize materials has a history of more than 117 years. However, to date, it is still the most popular way to measure the mechanical properties of various materials at microscale and nanoscale. This review summarizes the background and the basic principle of processing by indentation. It is demonstrated that indentation is an effective and efficient method to identify mechanical properties, such as hardness, Young's modulus, etc., of materials at smaller scale, when the traditional tensile tests could not be applied. The review also describes indentation process via both experimental tests and numerical modelling in recent studies.
