Micro-indentation of metal matrix composites: a 3D finite element analysis

This paper investigates the inhomogeneous behaviour of metal matrix composites subjected to micro-indentation by a spherical indenter, using 3D finite element analysis. This includes the effects on hardness of volume fraction of reinforced particles and (indenter):(particle diameter) ratio. It was f...
