Abstract

Depth-sensing indentation at ultramicroscopic and macroscopic contacts (“nanoindentation” and “macroindentation,” respectively) was performed on four brittle materials (soda-lime glass, alumina titanium carbide, sapphire, and silicon) and the resulting load–displacement traces examined to provide insight to the elastic and plastic deformation scaling with contact size. The load–displacement traces are examined in terms of the unloading stiffness, the energies deposited during loading and recovered on unloading, and the effect of the indenter tip radius on the loading curve. The results of the analyses show that the elastic and plastic deformation during loading and unloading is invariant with the scale of the contact, and the unloading curve is best described by neither a conical tip nor a paraboloid of revolution, but of some compromise.
