Indentation test is a powerful method of material characterization for measuring and extracting mechanical properties at small scales with a long history and wide range of applications. This paper provides a systematic overview of indentation test, involving fundamental principles, instrument developments, data extraction methods, numerical simulation techniques, wide applications in various fields, and challenges and future developments. Furthermore, this paper focuses on indentation size effects, summarizing the factors that may cause this effect and the theoretical models developed by previous researchers. Finally, this paper is summarized and prospected.
