During nanoindentation testing, there are many issues that need to be considered if high-
quality data are to be obtained when testing both bulk and thin film materials. For soft …

Mechanical properties of composite materials for application as electrodes in batteries have
been measured by means of selective statistical nanoindentation. The sample is strongly …

Study of nanomechanical response of iron carbides is important because presence of iron
carbides greatly influences the performance and longevity of steel components. This work …

Nanoindentation is performed on the cross-section of copper samples subjected to surface
mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). The cross-section of the SMAT samples provides a …

Nanoindentation and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques were used to
study the correlation between crystallographic orientations and mechanical properties of …

This paper reports the loading rate effect on the mechanical behavior of zirconia using
nanoindentation and in situ scanning probe imaging techniques. Nanoindentation tests …

As the size of joints in micro/nano-electronics diminishes, the role of intermetallic (IMC)
layers becomes more significant. It was shown that solder joint strength is controlled largely …

We explored the influences of hydrogen on small-scale strength of a linepipe steel through
nanoindentation experiments with four pyramidal indenters. Interestingly, a transition from …

The present investigation focuses on understanding the influence of change from wet to dry
environment on nanomechanical properties of shallow water shrimp exoskeleton. Scanning …

This paper presents a study of the elastic properties of the p-type thermoelectric half-Heusler
material, Hf0. 44Zr0. 44Ti0. 12CoSb0. 8Sn0. 2, using nanoindentation. Large grain-sized …
