Indentation on a transversely isotropic elastoplastic solid (TIES) with a point-sharp indenter is simulated with the finite element method. The indentation behavior (P-h curve) of the TIES changes depending on the elastic anisotropy although the Young's modulus in the indentation direction keeps constant. Representative indentation elastic modulus E*, which is introduced to describe the elastic behavior of point-sharp indentation, is modified in order to take the effect of elastic anisotropy on E* into account.
