Pile-ups and sink-ins influence the measurement of the contact area in indentation hardness testing particularly when the indent size becomes significantly small, i.e. in nanoindentation. In this paper, we study the effect of strain rate and work hardening on pile-ups and sink-ins of creeping solids during the indentation process. We use a strain hardening creeping constitutive relation available in the ABAQUS finite element analysis commercial code. The simulations were performed for a work hardening exponent, chi = partial derivative ln sigma/partial derivative ln epsilon of 0.1-0.3 and a strain rate sensitivity of von Mises stress v(sigma) = partial derivative ln sigma/partial derivative ln epsilon of 0.04-0.16. We report that strain rate sensitivity and work hardening influence the measure of pile-ups and sink-ins. It is reported in the literature that rate-insensitive materials undergo sink-in with the increase in the work hardening exponent and tend to pile-up in the absence of work hardening. In this research for rate-sensitive materials, we observe similar behavior but the effect is less profound. We also depict similar results for pile-up.
