On the Invariance of Hardness at Vickers Indentation of Pre-Stressed Materials
The influence from residual surface stresses on global indentation properties, i.e., hardness and size of the contact area, have been studied quite frequently in recent years. A fundamental assumption when evaluating such tests is that the material hardness is independent of any residual stresses. T...
