Polymer networks are complex systems consisting of molecular components. Whereas the
properties of the individual components are typically well understood by most chemists …

The method we introduced in 1992 for measuring hardness and elastic modulus by
instrumented indentation techniques has widely been adopted and used in the …

We examine the effects of the substrate on the determination of mechanical properties of thin
films by nanoindentation. The properties of aluminum and tungsten films on the following …

Ultra-low load indentation, also known as nanoindentation, is a widely used tool for
measuring the mechanical properties of thin films and small volumes of material. One of the …

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 …

This paper reviews commonly used methods of analysing and interpreting nanoindentation
test data, with a particular emphasis on the testing of thin films. The popularity of …

The work done during indentation is examined using dimensional analysis and finite
element calculations for conical indentation in elastic-plastic solids with work hardening. An …

The mechanical properties of whole bones, bone tissue, and the bone-implant interfaces are
as important as their morphological and structural aspects. Mechanical Testing of Bone and …

An analysis of compiled literature nanoindentation hardness (Hc) and elastic modulus (E)
values of molecular crystals revealed a wide range of mechanical properties (0.001–1.80 …

Experiments have shown that nanoindentation unloading curves obtained with Berkovich
triangular pyramidal indenters are usually welldescribed by the power-law relation P= α (h …
