Abstract

A dual indentation test method according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include a first indentation step of indenting a surface of a material using a flat first indenter and a second indentations step of indenting the surface of the material indented by the first indenter using a second indenter.

Claims (12)

1. A dual indentation test method comprising:

a first indentation step of indenting a surface of a material using a flat first indenter, wherein the first indenter has a cylindrical shape with a flat end; and

a second indentation step of indenting the surface of the material within a residual imprint of the first indentation step using a second indenter.

2. The dual indentation test method of claim 1 , wherein the second indenter is different in shape from the first indenter.

3. The dual indentation test method of claim 1 , wherein a first load-displacement curve is obtained through the second indentation step.

4. The dual indentation test method of claim 1 , wherein the first indenter and the second indenter are higher in rigidity, strength, and hardness than the material.

5. The dual indentation test method of claim 1 , wherein the second indenter is different in shape from the first indenter, wherein the first indenter has a diameter that is at least three or more times a diameter of the second indenter.

6. The dual indentation test method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first load-displacement curves are obtained by repeatedly performing the first indentation step and the second indentation step at least two or more times.

7. The dual indentation test method of claim 6 , wherein an indentation load and indentation displacement in the first indentation step are configured to be changed in accordance with an error range by comparing the plurality of first load-displacement curves.

8. The dual indentation test method of claim 7 , further comprising a conversion step of converting each of the plurality of first load-displacement curves into a stress-strain curve.

9. The dual indentation test method of claim 8 , further comprising a first calculation step of calculating properties of the material from the stress-strain curve.

10. The dual indentation test method of claim 6 , further comprising a comparing step of comparing each of the plurality of first load-displacement curves with a plurality of second load-displacement curves measured from a stress-free surface of the material in a unstressed state, further comprising a second calculation step of calculating a magnitude of stress.
