Abstract  

By the numerical simulation of spherical indenter, it was observed that for the material with strain hardening exponent n >0.23, sinking-in will happen for all values of yield strain σy/E, but when n <0.23, both pile-up and sinking-in depend on the changing of σy/E. For the material with σy/E >0.02, sinking-in was observed for all values of n during indenting, but when σy/E <0.02, both pile-up and sinkin depend on the changing of n. For the ratio of residual indentation depth and maximum indentation depth (hf /hmax)<0.76, the material shows sinking-in behavior, and the higher strain hardening exponent is, the greater sinking-in is. For hf /hmax>0.76, pile-up changes to sinking-in when n <0.23 and totally sinking-in when n >0.23. The relation between the feature of pile-up or sinking-in c2 and contact area was obtained, and the effect of c2 on error of hardness was analyzed.
