Characterization of stress-strain relationships of elastoplastic materials: an improved method with conical and pyramidal indenters

The load-displacement curve in indentation is widely used to extract elastoplastic properties of materials. It is believed that such a measurement is non-unique and a full stress-strain curve cannot be obtained with a sharp indenter or even plural and spherical indenters. By introducing a ratio of t...
