A Novel Approach to Modelling Nanoindentation Instabilities

We review the recently developed models for load fluctuations in the displacement controlled mode and displacement jumps in the load controlled mode of indentation. To do this, we devise a method for calculating plastic contribution to load drops and displacement jumps by setting-up a system of coup...
