Abstract
On general grounds, it is expected that plastic flow with increasing strain and length scale of inhomogeneity undergoes a laminar to rotational transition, rather like any fluid flow. When this is applied to indentation plasticity, one finds that rotational flow produces a density of geometrically necessary dislocations which can provide a quantitative account of the indentation size effect. But at very small indentations, laminar flow occurs, with build-up of material under the indenter. Combining these two flow patterns in parallel seems to provide a quantitative account of the observed hardness behaviour.
