Abstract

Results of nanoindentation experiments on glasses and polymers, carried out at different loading rates and regimes (loading, hold segment and unloading), were compared with simulated models based on rheological principles. The best fit was obtained by combining the rheological elements for elasticity, plasticity and viscosity in series with squares of the indentation depth.
