A Simple Method for Measuring Plastic Properties of Power Hardening Metals via the Indentation Curve with a Large Depth

The spherical indentation technique provides an easy way to evaluate the integrity of in-service structures because it is nondestructive. In this study, a simple method was proposed to measure mechanical properties such as the yield strength, the ultimate tensile strength, and the strain hardening e...
