Load-displacement curves

Submitted by kashoo on

nanoindentation

I am trying to simualet Indentation Hardness Testing in ABAQUS and feeling like that there is some problem in my model.

Whenever I try to plot load-displacement curves it gives me bumps in the curve. Any idea, what should I do?

Should I reduce mesh size, I have done but then it gives me error with step size and so on.,

Hi,I'm trying to simulate nanoindentation too.I've encountered several problems,but not the same as you.

You'd better have a look at some articles on science direct, there you can find a lot of guidelines.

If you want we can confront our models.
