Thermal activation mechanisms and Labusch-type strengthening analysis for a family of high-entropy and equiatomic solid-solution alloys (2016, neutral): “The Vicker’s hardness, as other hardness measurements based on sharp indenters, is proportional to the flow stress at the indentation strain that depends on the apex angle of the indenter [43].”
Modeling and simulation in tribology across scales: An overview (2018, positive): “Nano-indentation tests have revealed another important effect, namely the increase of hardness with decreasing indentation depth, which is referred to as the indentation size effect [419,420].”

Orientation informed nanoindentation of α-titanium: Indentation pileup in hexagonal metals deforming by prismatic slip (2012, background): “Also, size effects that might influence the plastic flow at the investigated length scale need further attention.(54,55) Finally, the identification of active slip and cross-slip mechanisms that cause the observed pileup profiles certainly requires further efforts from experimentation and modeling.”
Solid particle erosion mechanisms of protective coatings for aerospace applications (2014, background): “Although the ISE can vary widely from one material to another and there is still much debate about its origins [192], it can be expressed in general by [187, 188]:”
