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 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 …

Cancer initiation and progression follow complex molecular and structural changes in the
extracellular matrix and cellular architecture of living tissue. However, it remains poorly …

A well-known fact is that the mechanical properties of cement-based materials largely
depend on the material structure at the micro-and nano-scales. To understand and improve …

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 …

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

In this paper, the application of instrumented indentation devices to the measurement of the
elastic modulus of polymeric materials is reviewed. This review includes a summary of …

Instrumented indentation, also known as depth-sensing indentation or nanoindentation, is
increasingly being used to probe the mechanical response of materials from metals and …

Although instrumented nanoindentation testing has been used to characterize the
mechanical properties of materials since the 1970s, the vast majority of the research …

Depth-sensing nanoindentation measurement techniques are commonly used to measure
nanomechanical properties of surface layers of bulk materials and of ultrathin coatings. The …
