Abstract

Based on the microscopic observations and measurements, the mechanics behaviors of the nanostructured material (the surface-nanocrystallized Al-alloy material) at microscale are investigated experimentally and theoretically. In the experimental research, the hardness-indent depth curves or relations are measured by using both the method of randomly selecting loading points on the specimen surface and the continuous stiffness method. In the theoretical simulation, based on both the material microstructure characteristics and the experimental features of the nanoindentation, the microstructure cell model is developed and the strain gradient plasticity theory is adopted. The material hardness-indent depth curves are predicted and simulated. Through comparison of the experimental results with the simulation results, the material parameters and the model parameters are determined.
