This article is a response to the paper by Suzuki et al regarding the analysis of the mechanical properties based on the energy dissipated during the indentation loading-unloading cycle. An extension of the analysis might offer the possibility for the work to become an effective tool to simplify the analysis of indentation data. However, there are a few points that are discussed in this paper, in a fully collaborative spirit.
