Material Brinell hardness values are usually measured by force loading Brinell hardness
testers. In this paper, firstly, based on experiment data and theoretical analysis, not only
the relationship between Brinell hardness and mechanical properties of the measured
material is discussed, but also all measurement uncertainty sources are precisely calibrated.
Secondly, force loading characteristics of the Brinell hardness measurement are
described and a finite element analysis for the whole Brinell hardness measurement
process is introduced. Thirdly, to acquire theoretical measurement uncertainties and the
reliable Brinell hardness values of the material under analysis, Monte Carlo method is
applied to simulate Brinell hardness experiments. At last, several sets of experiments are
carried out on HB-3000C, the Brinell hardness results acquired by this proposed novel
mechanics analysis method and practical experiments shown to be consistent, and the
validity of the proposed method is attained
