Abstract
Utilizing the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Vickers hardness tests, the relationship between the stored energy and indentation hardness of copper after compression test is achieved experimentally. Three dislocation models are utilized to develop the relationships between the stored energy and hardness for justifying the experimental relationship. The relationships show that the stored energy is increased by increasing the hardness, non-linearly. By comparing the models’ results with the experimental data, the validity of each model at different ranges of hardness is determined.
