A simple indentation technique for measuring the hardness‐to‐modulus ratio of elastic/plastic materials was developed. The method, which is based on measurement of the elastic recovery of the in‐surface dimensions of a Knoop indentation, allows ready evaluation of the hardness‐to‐modulus ratio to an accuracy better than 10%.
