Abstract

In this study, effects of the plastic deformation and the time-dependent deformation behavior on the fundamental relations in the Oliver & Pharr method are studied by using finite element analysis based on a viscoelastic-plastic model developed for polymers. The study eventually yields an experimental protocol and using which, the instantaneous modulus of the viscoelastic-plastic materials may be reliably determined. Experiments have been performed on four polymers to verify the conclusions from the numerical analysis.
