Based on this relationship,it is not only possible to compare instrumented indentation hardness with conventional hardness directly,but also can be further adopted to estimate the conventional hardness for materials on small scales such as thin films materials and nanometer materials.

Dimensional analysis and FEM were employed,results revealed the relationship between the ideal indentation hardness and the blunt indentation hardness from an indentation test about the ideal Berkovich indenter and the blunt Berkovich indenter of elasto-plastic materials.

The nanomechanical properties of the Zaocys dhumnades s ventral epidermis such as elastic modulus and indentation hardness etc.

In order to explore the correlation of rock indentation hardness with acoustic emission parameters such as accumulated number of events, total energy, peak RMS and integrated RMS.

Dimensional analysis and finite element method were employed to analyze the changes of Oliver&Pharr hardness of thin solid films measured in residual compressive stress field with blunt indenter .
