Depth-sensing indentation is wifely used for evaluation of mechanical properties of thin films. It is generally accepted that the most significant source of uncertainty in nanoindentation measurement is the geometry of the indenter tip. Therefore the successful application of the technique requires accurate calibration of the indenter tip geometry. The direct measurement of geometry of a Berkovich indenter was determined using a atomic force microscope. The indentation geometrical calibration of contact area was performed by analyzing the indenter tip profile. The equations of area functions were proposed for nanoscale thin films..

The influence of indenter geometry on nanoindentation was studied using a static molecular dynamics simulation. Dislocation nucleation, dislocation locks, and dislocation movements during nanoindentation into Al (001) were studied. Spherical, rectangular, and Berkovich indenters were modeled to study the material behaviors and dislocation activities induced by their different shapes. We found that the elastic responses for the three cases agreed well with those predicted from elastic contact theory. Complicated stress fields were generated by the rectangular and Berkovich indenters, leading to a few uncommon nucleation and dislocation processes. The calculated mean critical resolved shear stresses for the Berkovich and rectangular indenters were lower than the theoretical strength. In the Berkovich indenter case, an amorphous region was observed directly below the indenter tip. In the rectangular indenter case, we observed that some dislocation loops nucleated on the plane. Furthermore, a prismatic loop originating from inside the material glided upward to create a mesa on the indenting surface. We observed an unusual softening phenomenon in the rectangular indenter case and proposed that heterogeneously nucleating dislocations are responsible for this.

마이크로/나노 압입시험에 사용되는 각뿔 혹은 원뿔형 압입자의 선단 형상은 제작한계 및 사용 중 마모 등으로 인해 필수적으로 곡면 형태를 띄게 된다. 많은 압입시험 관련 연구에서 각뿔형 압입자의 선단 형상은 편의상 구형으로 가정한 후, 얕은 압입에 대한 구형압입 이론식을 적용하고 있다. 이러한 가정에는 근본적으로 두 가지 문제점이 있는데, 첫 번째로 이론해의 정확성은 재료 물성치 및 압입자 형상에 따라 변화한다는 점이며, 두 번째로 각뿔형 압입자의 실제 선단 형상은 이상적인 구형이 아니라는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석에 기반하여 압입시험에 미치는 이 두 요소의 영향을 분석한다. 먼저 탄성 구형 압입시험에 대해 푸아송비와 하중-변위 곡선의 상관관계를 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 수정된 구형 탄성 압입 관계식을 제시한다. 이어 가정된 Berkovich 선단 형상의 3차원 유한요소해석으로부터 압입깊이에 따른 하중-변위 곡선의 특성을 분석한다.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석과 압입시험으로 압입자 형상이 압입균열특성에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. 본 논문에서는 Lee 등(2012)이 제시한 cohesive zone 모델특성 및 균열생성, 진전을 위한 해석조건에 기초해 다양한 균열해석을 수행했다. 우선, 사각뿔 및 삼각뿔 압입균열 시험과 해석을 비교해 해석모델의 유효성을 검증했다. 아울러 비대칭 압입자에 의한 압입시, 압입하부에서 비대칭 균열의 발생여부를 해석적으로 관찰했다. 최종적으로 압입발생 균열수와 균열길이 관계를 조사했다. 균열수와 균열길이 관계 및 동일 압입자형상(압입자 모서리수)에서 압입자각에 따른 균열길이 변화를 이용하면, 특정 압입자 형태의 압입시험에서 얻은 균열길이 만으로 다양한 압입자 형태의 균열길이를 예측할 수 있다.

The dynamic photoelastic technique has been utilized to investigate the possibility of relieving the large local singular stresses which are induce in the corner of a right angled indenter. The indenter compresses a semi-infinite body dynamically with an impact load applied on the top of the indenter. The effect of geometric changes to the indenter in terms of the diameter (d) and the location (ℓ) of the notch on the relieving of the dynamic contact stresses are investigated. A multi-spark-high speed camera with twelve sparks was used to take dynamic photographs. The contact singular stresses were found to be released by introducing the relief notch along the indenter. The optimal location and geometry of the relief notch need further experimental investigation.

The dynamic photoelastic technique had been utilized to investigate the possibillity of relieving the large local singular stresses induced at the corner of a right- angle- indenter. The indenter compressed a semi-infinite body dynamically with an impact load applied on the top of the indenter. The effects of the geometric changes of the indenter in terms of the diameter (d) and the location (1) of the stress relieving notch on the behavior of the dynamic contact stresses were investigated. The influence of stress relieving notches positioned along the edge of the semi-infinite body on the dynamic contact stresses were also studied by changing the diameter (D) and the location (L) of the notch. A multi-speak-high speed camera with twelve sparks were used to take photographs of full field dynamic isochromatic fringe patterns. The contact singular stresses were found to be released significantly by the stress relief notches both along the indenter and the edge of the semi-infinite body. The optimal position and geometry of the stress relieving notches were obtained with the aid of limited experimental results.

The indented geometry for rockwell hardness indenter has been configured by using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). For this purpose, the CLSM can be well suited to construct the three-dimensional indented volume from the indented surface by rockwell hardness tester. Furthermore, the height data of HEI(height encoded image) by CLSM must be acquired at first and converted to indented surface later. And the indented surface patterns enable us to predict the indenter shape and volume. This volume can be used to study the rockwell hardness model as a volume parameter. As a result, the technique performed in this study by combining the CLSM with compensation technique is an excellent one to obtain the geometries of indented surfaces over a wide range of surface resolution in a micro scale. And it can be used for micro volume calculation.

In this study, to achieve the optimal conditions for mechanical hyper-fine pattern fabrication process, deformation behavior of the materials during indentation scratch test was studied with numerical method by ABAQUS S/W. Brittle materials (Si, Pyrex glass 7740) were used as specimens, and forming conditions to reduce the elastic recovery and pile-up were proposed. The indenter was modeled as a rigid surface. Minimum mesh sizes of specimens are 1-l0nm. Variables of the nanoindentation scratch test analysis are scratching speed, scratching load, tip radius and tip geometry. The nano-indentation scratch tests were performed by using the Berkovich pyramidal diamond indenter. Comparison between the experimental data and numerical result demonstrated that the FEM approach can be a good model of the nanoindentation scratch test. The result of the investigation will be applied to the fabrication of the hyper-fine pattern.

A boundary element method is applied to the analysis of crack trajectory in materials with complex microstructure, such as discontinuously reinforced composite materials, and systems subjected to complex loading, such as indentation. The path followed by the crack(s) has non-trivial geometry. A study of the stress intensity factors and fracture toughness of such systems must therefore be accompanied by an analysis of crack trajectory. The simulation is achieved using a dual boundary integral method in planar problems, and a single boundary integral method coupled with substructuring in axisymmetric problems. The direction of crack propagation is determined using the maximum mechanical energy release rate criterion. The method is demonstrated by application to (i) a composite material composed of components having the elastic properties of aluminium (matrix) and silicon carbide (reinforcement), and (ii) analysis of contact damage induced by the action of an indenter on brittle materials. The chief advantage of the method is the ease with which problems having complex geometry or loading (giving rise to complex crack trajectories) can be treated.
