We provide an overview of the basic concepts of scaling and dimensional analysis, followed
by a review of some of the recent work on applying these concepts to modeling instrumented …

Indentation is a remarkably flexible mechanical test due to its relative experimental
simplicity. Coupled with advances in instrument development, ease of implementation has …

Nanoindentation has become a commonplace tool for the measurement of mechanical
properties at small scales, but may have even greater importance as a technique for …

The Handbook of Surface and Nanometrology explains and challenges current concepts in
nanotechnology. It covers in great detail surface metrology and nanometrology and more …

Simulations of crystal deformation and structural transformation may generate complex
datasets involving networks with million to billion chemical bonds which makes local …

Nanoindentation has become ubiquitous for the measurement of mechanical properties at
ever-decreasing scales of interest, including some studies that have explored the atomic …

Nanoindentation experiments are performed on single crystals of platinum, and the elastic-
plastic transition is studied statistically as a function of temperature and indentation rate. The …

We propose a nucleation theory-based analysis for incipient plasticity during
nanoindentation and predict the statistical distribution of rate-dependent pop-in events for …

Molecular mechanics (MM) calculations together with coupling methods bridging MM and
finite crystal elasticity are employed to simulate the fracture of defected carbon nanotubes …

A continuum phase field theory and corresponding numerical solution methods are
developed to describe deformation twinning in crystalline solids. An order parameter is …
