In this book, the relationships between
constitutive materials parameters (sy and n) of
elasto-plastic materials, indentation P-h curves and hardness with sharp and
spherical indenters has been systematically investigated by combining
representative stress analysis and FE modelling using steel as a typical model
material group.
FE model of Vickers indentation has been developed
and validated. An approach to predict the P-h curves from constitutive material
properties has been developed and evaluated based the relationship between the
curvature and material properties and representative stress. The equation and
procedure established was then successfully used in predicting full Vickers
indentation P-h curve. Parametric FE models of spherical indentation have been
developed with ABAQUS.RPY file. Two new approaches to characterize the P-h
curves of spherical indentation have been developed and evaluated. One is the
full curve fitting approach while the other is depth based approach. In the
full curve fitting approach, the relationship between an effective
representative stress with the first and second order coefficients of a
polynomial fitting line of the P-h was established. In the depth approach the
relationship between all force and representative stress with varying
representative strain has been established. Both approaches were proven to be
adequate and effective in predicting indentation P-h curves.
This provided a useful tool to evaluate the
feasibility of using hardness values in predicting the constitutive material
parameters with reference to accuracy and uniqueness by mapping through all
potential materials ranges.
