Nanoindentation has been used to measure the elastic modulus of 5 and 18 μm thick high-
purity vapor deposited polycrystalline lithium films at 31° C. Over indentation depths ranging …

Nanomechanical properties of bulk and micro-pillared monocrystalline silicon are
experimentally investigated using nanoscale depth-sensing indentation technique. Silicon …

The nanoindentation test is frequently used as an alternate method to obtain the mechanical
properties of ductile materials. However, due to the lack of information about the effects of …

Little is known today about the mechanical properties of the graphite nodules, despite the
key influence these particles have on the performance of ductile cast irons. To address this …

Improved methods are needed to improve the reliability and reporting of Berkovich probe
calibrations. Current methods for calibrating machine compliance rely substantially on the …

TiB 2 films with various Cu contents were deposited on the single crystalline Si (100) wafers
and SUS 304 stain steel substrates by a hybrid coating system combining high power …

Nanoindentation can characterize in-situ elastic modulus E of an object by pressing an
indenter into the sample surface and fitting the detected data to a contact equation. In this …

This is a report of the inter-relationships between mechanical properties of glassy polymers,
obtained from nanoindentation and uniaxial compression. The deformation states and …

A numerical nanoindentation model was developed using the Material Point Method (MPM),
which was chosen because it can handle both large deformations and dynamic contact …

This work describes a method to reliably measure the elastic modulus of brittle materials
from Berkovich indents under the continuous stiffness mode. It involves depositing a metallic …
