Abstract

Spherical nanoindentation has been used successfully to extract meaningful indentation stress-strain curves in hard materials such as metals and ceramics. These methods have not yet been applied on viscoelastic-viscoplastic polymer samples. This study explores the potential of the current spherical nanoindentation analysis protocols in extracting indentation stress-strain curves and viscoelastic properties on samples exhibiting time-dependent material response at room temperature. These new protocols were tested on polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, and low-density polyethylene. The properties extracted under different loading rates and indenter tip sizes conditions were observed to be consistent. It is further demonstrated that it is possible to recover the compression stress-strain curves for polymethyl methacrylate and low-density polyethylene from the measured indentation stress-strain curves. This study establishes some of the foundations needed for the development of protocols needed to reliably investigate the local time-dependent mechanical response of materials using spherical nanoindentation.
