Mechanical properties play a central role in drug formulation development and
manufacturing. Traditional characterization of mechanical properties of pharmaceutical …

Nanoindentation utilizes a hard indenter probe to deform the sample surface in order to
measure local properties, such as indentation modulus and hardness. Initially intended for …

A simple method for measuring the Young's modulus of thermoplastic polymers at the
nanoscale is proposed. Nanoindentation tests have been carried out on three polymers …

An analytical model is developed to deduce the elastic and plastic properties of a
hemispherical inclusion embedded in the surface of a semi-infinite solid from its indentation …

Nanoindentation is an experimental technique used for the determination of Young
modulus. The commonly used Oliver-Pharr analysis based on the assumption of the …

The accuracy in the determination of the mechanical properties by instrumented indentation
strongly depends on the indenter/material contact area, the corrective compliance, and the …

The designed glass-ceramic from the ZABS (ZnO-Al 2 O 3-B 2 O 3-SiO 2) glass-forming
system were used for the experiment. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the …

The current study investigates the thermally grown oxide layers (of the order of 5–10 μm
thick) on Inconel 617 at elevated temperature of 950° C in helium and air atmospheres using …

A combination of nanoindentation testing and atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used
to accurately determine the hardness and elastic modulus of gear steels. The results …

This work attempts to explore a method to characterize the effect of loading rate on the
power-law constitutive parameters of nickel-based single crystal superalloys (NBSX) by …
