Abstract

In many fields of engineering, Copper and bronze and brass are used. In order to improve the improvement of their uses, it is important to have a reliable technique to determine their mechanical characteristics. The nano indentation technique is a versatile non-destructive test which is recently applied. This document presents a numerical simulation model of the nano indentation test using the commercial finite element code ABAQUS with a BERKOVITCH indenter. For extracting the mechanical characteristics of its materials, such as hardness, and modulus of elasticity, in order to understand the principle and operation of this new method.
