The phrase "indented surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in reference to a surface that has a depressed area or groove. For example, "The car had an indented surface on the hood where a bird had crashed into it."
The inset of Fig. 3 shows the typical AFM image for an indented surface obtained with an indentation load of 50 mN.
The inset of Fig. 4 displays the typical SEM micrograph for an indented surface obtained with the maximum applied indentation load of 200 mN.
The residual stresses and the residual plastic strains are assumed to be equibiaxial and uniform over a depth (beneath the indented surface) which is at least several times larger than the indentation contact diameter.
Ball makers learned to mold balls with raised or indented surface patterns, thus ensuring proper flight.
The specific case of linear variation in yield strength with depth below the indented surface is explored in detail.
They were physically adsorbed onto three types of surfaces having different topography, including smooth flat surface, convex surface, and indented surface.
Convex surfaces as well as indented surfaces wafer presented the best resistance to bacterial adhesion.
From etching of three indented surfaces, the preferred slip planes have been identified as (001) and (101).
In this paper, the aerodynamics of bridge cables with helical fillets and a pattern-indented surface are examined.
It consists in building a dynamic three-dimensional numerical model of the cyclic shift of a ball on an indented rolling surface, using finite element analysis (FEA).
The microstructure of the minicomposites and indented fracture surfaces were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
