“…In Table 2 , Table 3 , Table 4 and Table 5 , the experimental average data, and the empirical values of stainless steel, copper alloy, aluminum alloy, and copper–chromium–zirconium alloy, used to implement the calculation models of indentation hardness H IT , indentation modulus E IT indentation creep C IT , and indentation work η IT from HV standard tests, were collected. According to [ 52 , 53 ], plasticity characteristic δ H , which is a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio between the plastic ( h p in this specific case) and the total deformation ( h MAX ) during indentation, namely δ H = h p / h MAX , is also reported.…”
