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

Objective: The mechanical behaviour or the Young's Modulus of the skin is measured as a
ratio of the stress applied to the skin in vitro or in vivo over the skin deformation. The Young's …

Although hardness has long been regarded as a primary material property which defines
wear resistance, there is strong evidence to suggest that the elastic modulus can also have …

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 …

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

This paper describes nanoindentation experiments on thin films of polycrystalline Al of
known texture and different thicknesses, and of single crystal Al of different crystallographic …

The current status of ion beam processing of GaN is reviewed. In particular, we discuss the
following aspects of ion implantation into GaN:(i) damage build-up and amorphization,(ii) …

A NiAl–Mo eutectic was directionally solidified to produce composites with well-aligned
single-crystal Mo-alloy fibers embedded in a NiAl matrix. They were pre-strained by …

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

This paper presents a review devoted to the specific mechanical behavior of thin near-
surface layers of various solids, materials, films, and multilayer coatings under local loading …
