This work aims to apply the microindentation technique for assessing the influence of two aging factors—long-term weathering and long-term laboratory aging—on the time-dependent mechanical properties of an epoxy composition. The linear theory of viscoelasticity was taken as a background for the problem, and the time-independent Poisson ratio value was assumed to simplify the assessment. Two nano/microindenters were used (Hysitron Triboscan and Nano XP Indenter) at two different laboratories. Four special time-dependent loading histories were applied: indentation under a step load, indentation under a constant load rate, indentation with a fixed depth of penetration, and indentation under a constant rate of penetration.
