ELASTIC-PLASTIC INDENTATION DEFORMATION IN HOMOGENEOUS AND LAYERED MATERIALS: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

The complex phenomenon of indentation deformation is studied using finite element analysis for both homogeneous and layered materials. For the homogeneous materials, the elastic-plastic deformation at large indentation depth is studied. The variation of the load-displacement curves as well as the va...
