Indentation Size Effect in Pressure-Sensitive Polymer Based on A Criterion for Description of Yield Differential Effects and Shear Transformation-Mediated Plasticity

Indentation size effects in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were studied through nanoindentation. Two factors of indentation size effects in PMMA, namely yield criterion and shear transformation-mediated plasticity, were analysed in detail. The yield criterion that considers strength differential (...
