A small hard object used for producing an indentation in a solid in an indentation test.
（用于硬度试验的）压头
Example sentencesExamples
The mean pressure between the surface of the indenter and the indentation is equal to the load divided by the projected area of the indentation.
This number refers to the weight required for a diamond indenter to produce an indentation in the coating.
Unfortunately, there are no well-defined spherical indenters available for indentation tests at the subcellular level.
The indenter is joined to a bending beam that measures the force applied by a pair of transducers.
Such large-scale clinical indenters average the mechanical properties of the biological tissue over a large volume, i.e., over several square millimetres of material.
