Abstract
A series of molecular dynamics simulations has been performed to study high-speed nanoindentation of a hard pyramidal tip into Al substrates. The effects of several process variables are investigated, including system temperature, tip-substrate bonding, indentation force, and surface orientation. We discuss the results and the deformation mechanisms that occur during indentation.
