Nondestructive instrumented indentation test is the method to evaluate the mechanical properties by analyzing load - displacement curve when forming indentation on the surface of the specimen within hundreds of micro-indentation depth. Resistance spot welded samples are known to difficult to measure the local mechanical properties due to the combination of microstructural changes with heat input. Particularly, more difficulties arise to evaluate local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds because of having narrow HAZ, as well as dramatic changed in microstructure and hardness properties across the welds. In this study, evaluation of the local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds was carried out using the characterization of Instrumented Indentation testing. Resistance spot welding were performed for 590MPa DP (Dual Phase) steels and 780MPa TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) steels following ISO 18278-2 condition. Mechanical properties of base metal using tensile test and Instrumented Indentation test showed similar results. Also it is possible to measure local mechanical properties of the center of fusion zone, edge of fusion zone, HAZ and base metal regions by using instrumented indentation test. Therefore, measurement of local mechanical properties using instrumented indentation test is efficient, reliable and relatively simple technique to evaluate the tensile strength, yield strength and hardening exponent.

Residual stress is the key parameter for reliability and lifetime assessment because it can reduce the fatigue strength and fracture properties of industrial structures. Recently, instrumented indentation testing (IIT) has been widely used for evaluating it, since it does not need specific specimen and time-consuming procedure. However, conventional Oliver-Pharr method, which is used for calibrating contact depth to analyze indentation load-depth curve, cannot estimate plastic pile-up between indenter and surface of specimen. Here, we introduce f parameter which is the ratio of contact depth and maximum depth, to consider pile-up height. And, its application for evaluating residual stress of weldment is introduced.

Apparent mechanical properties in structural components can be different from the initially designed values due to the formation of the residual stress in metal forming and welding. Therefore, the evaluation of residual stress has great importance in the reliability diagnosis of structural components. A nondestructive instrumented indentation technique has been proposed to evaluate various strength concerning mechanical properties from the analysis of load-depth curve. In this study, quantitative residual stress estimation on API X65 welded joints for natural gas pipeline was performed by analyzing the variation of indentation loading curve by residual stress through a new proposed theoretical model. The residual stress from the indentation method was compared with that from the saw-cutting method.

본 논문에서는 품질 검사 방법론이 적용된 계장화 압입시험을 수행하여 점용접부의 경도를 평가하였다. 먼저 정상 및 불량 용접조건하에서 제작된 점용접 샘플에 대해 로크웰 경도 및 계장화 압입시험을 실시하였다. 계장화 압입시험을 통해 구한 압입하중-변위선도를 이용하여 계산된 경도를, 동일한 조건의 동일위치에 대한 압입경도시험을 통하여 측정된 로크웰 경도와 확률론적 방법론을 이용하여 비교평가 하였다. 또한 계장화 압입시험을 통하여 추정한 경도 및 이에 대한 확률론적 해석을 수행하여 점용접부의 신뢰성 기반 품질 관리 기준 설정 가능성을 평가하였다.

Approaches for analyzing indentation hardness are still controversial, although the instrumented indentation technique has been generalized as one powerful method that can record surface deformation behaviors. Material pile-ups around the indenter/surface contact region make the conventional Oliver and Pharr's analysis on the instrumented indentation curve inaccurate. Thus, in order to prove the validity of the hardness analyses, five approaches were applied to the experimental data obtained from fused quartz and (100) monocrystalline tungsten specimens; an elastic recovery analysis on instrumented indentation curves, three indentation work analyses on the unit plastic volume, and a differentiation analysis on remnant indentation morphologies were tried. Five kinds of indentation hardness overlapped on one result plot showed the validity of each analysis. The modified indentation work approach based on a new definition of plastic volume showed consistent results with those from the Oliver-Pharr's and image differentiation methods. In the case of pile-up accompanying deformation, the Oliver-Pharr's and image differentiation methods showed the upper and lower limits of indentation hardness, respectively.

The stress-strain relation of aluminum (Al) alloy foam cell wall was evaluated by the instrumented sharp indentation method. The indentation in a few micron ranges was performed on the cell wall of Al-alloy foam having a composition or Al-3wt.%Si-2wt.%Cu-2wt.%Mg as well as its precursor (material prior to foaming). To extract the stress-stram relation in terms of yield stress ${\sigma}_y$, strain hardening exponent n and elastic modulus E, the closed-form dimensionless relationships between load-indentation depth curve and elasto-plastic property were used. The tensile properties of precursor material of Al-alloy foam were also measured independently by uni-axial tensile test. In order to verify the validity of the extracted stress-strain relation, it was compared with the results of tensile test and finite element (FE) analysis. A modified cubic-spherical lattice model was proposed to analyze the compressive behavior of the Al-alloy foam. The material parameters extracted by the instrumented nanoindentation method allowed the model to predict the compressive behavior of the Al-alloy foam accurately.

UV imprinting process can manufacture high-functional optical components with low cost. If hard polymers can be used as transparent molds at this process, the cost will be much lower. However, there are limited researches to predict the machinability and the burr of hard polymers. Therefore, a new method to predict them by analyzing load-depth curves which can be obtained by the instrumented indentation test was developed in this study. The load-depth curve contains elastic deformation and plastic deformation simultaneously. The ratio of the plastic deformation over the sum of the two deformation is proportional to the ductility of materials which is one of the parameters of the machinability and the burr. The instrumented indentation tests were performed on the transparent molds of the hard polymers and the values of ratio were calculated. The machinability and the burr of three kinds of hard polymers were predicted by the ratio, and the prediction was in agreement with the experimental results from the machined surfaces of the three kinds of hard polymers.

기존 콘크리트 구조물 내력은 변위 및 스트레인 게이지를 통해 기지의 가력에 따른 변화량을 계측하고, 그 결과를 수치해석 결과와 비교하여 평가한다. 이는 결과적으로 현존 콘크리트의 잔류응력을 계측 평가하므로써 완성될 수 있다. 본 논문은 실험적 응력해석법의 일환으로 콘크리트 구조물에 대한 잔류응력을 비파괴적인 방식으로 평가하는 IITC (Instrumented Indentation Technique for Concrete) 시스템 개발과 관련된 것으로 콘크리트 구조물 표면에서 압입하중과 압입깊이와의 상관관계를 이용한 실험적 평가방법을 논하였다. 본 연구에서는 구성되는 H/W 및 분석용 S/W는 새롭게 개발하였으며, 다각도의 실험결과를 이용하여 콘크리트 구조물에서의 실험적 잔류응력 추정식을 창출하였고, 자동으로 잔류응력을 평가케 함으로써 콘크리트 구조물의 축성단계에서부터 유지관리 단계에까지 자유롭게 내력을 산정할 수 있도록 하였다.
