Abstract

Background: Understanding the dynamics of deformation processes is of interest for determining the dominant thermally activated processes during plasticity [1] and fracture [2, 3]. Strain rate jump (SRJ) tests have been recently introduced to investigate intrinsic deformation mechanisms and have been successfully utilized on some nanomechanical test platforms [4–6]. Objective: The goal is to create standardized SRJ testing and analysis protocols for Hysitron nanoindenters, which cannot be found in literature, besides our previous work [7]. Methods: Presented here is software to create SRJ test load functions for the TI980, which could be adapted to other instruments, and standardized protocols for analyzing the associated data. Results: These protocols are validated using single crystal tungsten as a model material and agree well with literature values from other instruments. Conclusions: New freely available software, validated on single crystal tungsten, creates opportunities for others to investigate intrinsic deformation mechanisms in more complex systems.
