Abstract

Depth-sensing indentation tests can be used to estimate the Young's modulus, hardness, and other characteristics of material behavior. For many materials, the unloading segment of the load–depth curve contains only elastic recovery while the loading segment can contain elastic and plastic deformation. In this paper a new method is presented to determine the Young's modulus of a material from the loading segment of an indentation test. A depth-sensitive hardness tester was used with a load cell integrated into the closed-loop system. Defined mechanical oscillations with constant frequency were generated by adding a piezoelectric stack to the closed loop of the hardness measurement system. Thus the resonance response of the system was obtained, which includes information regarding the stiffness of the tested material. This new method was tested on two polymers and two glasses, an optical and a conventional one. The results obtained for the Young's modulus were in good agreement with other accepted methods.
