A new frontier of research in the area of computational nanomechanics is to study the
behavior of structures at very small length scales. As the dimensions of a structure approach …

Surface stress is one of the most considerable reasons which cause extraordinary
mechanical responses of nanomaterials and nanostructures due to the high surface to …

Nanoindentation is a well known tool for identification of mechanical properties at the
micrometer scale of materials. When applied to study wood cell walls the commonly used …

Microcantilevers of various sizes were machined using a focused ion beam from
commercially pure (CP) Ti, Ti–6Al and Ti–6Al–4V, and tested in bending using a …

Grinding is one of the most important processes to manufacture hard-brittle materials such
as optical glass. It is often desired to increase the material removal rate while maintaining …

Jason P. Killgore,* Roy H. Geiss, and Donna C. Hurley will be shifted to higher frequencies
compared to the free air resonance. We model the cantilever as a distributed-mass beam …

The sharp indenters such as Berkovich and conical indenters have a geometrical self-
similarity so that we can obtain only one parameter from an indentation loading curve, which …

The mechanical properties of hydrogen-bonded layer-by-layer (LbL) microcapsule shells
constructed from tannic acid (TA) and poly (vinylpyrrolidone)(PVPON) components have …

Nanoindentation has become a standard method for measuring mechanical properties of
bone, especially within microstructural units such as individual osteons or trabeculae. The …

Photo-cross-linkable polyelectrolyte multilayers were made from poly (allylamine)(PAH) and
poly (acrylic acid)(PAA) modified with a photosensitive benzophenone. Nanoindentation …
