Review the resulting graph, which should be similar to the graph shown
in
. You can determine how long the indenter “looked” for
the surface by noting where the beginning of the curve intersects the X
axis. In the example graph, the indenter looked for the surface for 57
seconds. You can verify that 1) loading took place in 25 seconds, 2)
there was a 10-second dwell at peak load, and 3) the unloading rate was
twice as fast as the loading rate.
