Abstract

The indentation test, which is one of the testing methods for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials, can be applied to the evaluation of creep properties. Many studies related to the indentation creep test, however, have just focused on the characteristics of the steady-state creep, so there are wide discrepancies between the uniaxial test and the indentation test. To obtain accurate creep properties, it is therefore important to consider the effects of transient creep. In the present work, the Ogbonna et al.'s work on the spherical indentation test including the transient creep was expanded and applied to the conical indentation creep test. The characteristics of the transient creep were analyzed via finite element simulations and compared with those obtained through spherical indentation. Other effects, such as elastic strain, indenter shape, contact area, and representative strain, which have not been considered properly in prior studies on the creep test, are also discussed.

재료시험기법 중 하나인 압입시험은 크리프 특성 분석에 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 많은 기존 연구들이 정상상태의 크리프 특성만을 이용하고 있기 때문에, 단축시험과 압입시험 사이에는 상당한 차이가 발생한다. 따라서 정확한 크리프 평가를 위해서는 천이 크리프 특성을 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Ogbonna 등(14)의 구형 압입자를 이용한 천이 크리프 해석을 확장, 자기 유사성을 갖는 원뿔형 압입자에 적용했다. 천이 크리프 특성을 유한요소해석을 통해 분석하여 정리하였으며, 구형 및 원뿔형 압입시험의 천이 특성을 비교했다. 또한 재료의 탄성변형률, 압입자 형상, 압입접촉면적, 대표 변형률 등 기존 평가법들에서 정량적으로 잘 고려되지 못하고 있는 부분들을 살펴보고 그 해결방안을 제시했다.
