Hardness
Measure of resistance to indentation
Ability to resist scratch
Advantages:
non-destructive
can be related tensile strength
Types
Macro hardness (applied load > 1 kg)
Micro hardness (applied load < 1 kg)
Nano indentation (applied load in terms of mN)
Indentations of VH test
Indentations of KH test
Hardness of hair
Poisson's Ratio
Ratio between lateral strain and linear strain
For metals: Typically around 0.26-0.35
Foams or cellular solids have negative Poissons ratio
Honeycombs
Shear modulus
Safe stress
