Abstract
Though in depth-sensing nanoindentation experiments the entire load – depth curve is recorded, traditional data analysis delivers two characteristic values only: hardness and indentation modulus, being only a small fraction of the information contained in the experimental data. Based on multicycling experiments, the contact depth is established as an analytical function of total depth, and this is used to assign each point of the loading – unloading cycle a corresponding contact pressure. This technique proves particularly useful to analyse load –depth curves exhibiting discontinuities. Furthermore, the potential of multicycling as a probe of unloading – reloading hysteresis is discussed.
