Atomic force microscopy (AFM) combined with a nano-indentation technique was used to
reveal the structure and to perform site-specific mechanical testing of the enamel of third …

This paper presents the results of a series of multi-scale experiments and numerical models
concerning the mechanical properties of moso culm functionally graded bamboo structures …

As one of the most renewable resources on Earth, bamboo has recently attracted increasing

interpenetrating polymer–ceramic material containing 15–20% polymer. METHODS: After …

Improving the fracture resistance of oxide glasses through adjustment of the chemical
composition remains a challenging task, although composition-mechanical property …

The effects of two key experimental parameters on the measured nanomechanical
properties of lamellar and interlamellar tissue were examined in dehydrated rabbit …

The development of texture during cold-rolling and recrystallization was investigated in a
AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 eutectic high entropy alloy (EHEA). For this purpose, the as-cast alloy was …

During nanoindentation of a material with a naturally rough-surface, a flattening of the rough-
surface is additionally accomplished compared to nanoindentation on a flat surface. By …

Although cementitious construction materials are mainly used in a large scale and in huge
quantities, fundamental properties such as strength, ductility, creep, shrinkage, and fracture …

In this study, we propose a bearing ratio model for nanoindentation of rough surfaces.
During an indentation test, the work done by an applied indentation load contains the bulk …
