In Part 1, the slip-line field solutions and the associated load requirements necessary for the indentation of anisotropic solids are presented. The analysis is based on Hill's approach to the analysis of anisotropic material. All results are recorded in terms of a lumped anisotropic parameter, c.
In Part 2, the results of an investigation to determine the anisotropic parameters of a commercially available aluminium are reported. Specimens machined from the aluminium at selected orientations to the anisotropic axes were indented using a nominally frictionless flat rectangular punch. A comparison between the theoretical and experimental indentation loads is given.
