Abstract

In this study, the indentation hardness test is performed by elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis. In order to investigate the effect of the wear of indenter tip on the load-penetration depth curve ( $p - h$ curve), indentation simulation is made by changing the indenter tip radius. The $p - h$ curve obtained by finite element method (FEM) is in good agreement with the experimental results. The calculation shows that the indentation plastic work $W_{p}$ corresponding to the area in the $p - h$ curve is hardly affected by the indenter tip radius.
