Micro-and nanomechanical testing has seen a rapid development over the last decade with
miniaturized test rigs and MEMS-based devices providing access to the mechanical …

Although indentation experiments have long been used to measure the hardness and
Young's modulus, the utility of this technique in analyzing the complete elastic–plastic …

INTRODUCTION Gradient structures ubiquitously exist in natural materials such as bone,
shells, and trees. Microstructural gradients are increasingly being introduced into a wide …

Combining the high-entropy alloy (HEA) concept with property requirement for orthopedic
implants, we designed a Ti 20 Zr 20 Nb 20 Ta 20 Mo 20 equiatomic HEA. The arc-melted …

The indentation size effect is one of several size effects on strength for which “smaller is
stronger.” Through use of geometrically self-similar indenters such as cones and pyramids …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph. The first edition [202] was
published in 1996 in the Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences series (vol. 220) …

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 …

A standard experimental method for determining the intrinsic material length scale of
modified couple stress theory is proposed based on a non-contact laser Doppler vibration …

The novel high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with compositions of (Ti 1/3 Zr 1/3 Hf 1/3) 15 (Nb 1/2
Ta 1/2) x (x= 3, 5) for biomedical applications have been designed and synthesized, using …

In metal matrix composites, a metal is combined with another, often nonmetallic, phase to
produce a novel material having attractive engineering attributes of its own. A subject of …
