Predictive modeling of nanoindentation-induced homogeneous dislocation nucleation in copper (2004, methodology): “…elastic stage, a discontinuity in indenter displacement has been captured for the measured load P versus indentation depth h response for several cubic crystals (Page et al., 1992; Oliver and Pharr, 1992; Gerberich et al., 1996; Corcoran et al., 1997; Suresh et al., 1999; Gouldstone et al., 2000).”
Atomistic mechanisms governing elastic limit and incipient plasticity in crystals (2002, background): “(1) Linear growth of the unstable elastic wave, well-described by continuum; (2) nonlinear evolution at larger amplitudes, over which the wave profile steepens; (3) progressive steepening of the wave front until its width approaches atomic spacing, upon which its description must be transferred from”
