Indentation testing of composite materials: a novel approach to measuring interfacial characteristics and engineering properties

Findings made through the indentation testing of composites are presented in this thesis. The concept was developed as an attempt to evaluate the interfacial shear strength at a mesolevel, possibly overcoming the deficiencies of present techniques. Vickers Microhardness Testing and Continuous Ball I...
