Since the first successful story was reported in the middle of 1990s, combinatorial materials
science has attracted more and more attentions in the materials community. In the past two …

Structural materials have lagged behind other classes in the use of combinatorial and high-
throughput (CHT) methods for rapid screening and alloy development. The dual …

The high precision offered by small-scale mechanical testing has allowed the relationships
between mechanical behavior and specific microstructural features to be determined to an …

In this article we review recent advances in experimental techniques for the mechanical
characterization of materials and structures at various length scales with an emphasis in the …

Materials at the micrometer and submicrometer scale exhibit mechanical properties that are
substantially different from bulk materials. With the increasing miniaturization of devices, an …

This article reviews concepts and techniques for performing instrumented tensile testing of
materials at small dimensions. State-of-the-art methods to probe tensile behavior of micro …

With the increasing interplay between experimental and computational approaches at
multiple length scales, new research directions are emerging in materials science and …

Abstract Development of non-conventional mechanical testing techniques was primarily
driven by the requirement to measure mechanical properties at smaller length scales with …

High throughput, combinatorial approaches dramatically accelerate the discovery and
development of functional materials, where properties depend primarily on composition. In …
