Atomic Force Microscopy nanoindentation method is a powerful technique that can be used for the nano-mechanical characterization of bio-samples. Significant scientific efforts have been performed during the last two decades to accurately determine th...
The paper analyzes the process of indentation of polymeric materials with a spherical indenter. The loading diagrams P(h) obtained experimentally and by means of finite element method (FEM) are analyzed. The material under study was high-density poly...
High tensile strength and toughness play an important role in improving the mechanical performance of separator films, such as resistance to external force, improving service life, etc. In this study, a nanoindentation experiment is performed to inve...
The accurate measurement of the elastic modulus of thin metal films on flexible substrates is critical for understanding the mechanical reliability of flexible electronics. However, conventional methods, such as the Oliver–Pharr model, often un...
Mechanical reliability is an essential prerequisite for III-nitride thin films throughout device fabrication and processing. However, the availability of nanoindentation data for metastable cubic phases remains limited, making cross-study comparisons...
Background/Objectives: Dental caries, one of the most common oral diseases worldwide, represents a major public health concern. Contemporary dentistry has established several non-invasive approaches and resin infiltration, as a micro-invasive path, i...
Indentation testing is widely used to characterize microscale mechanical properties and provide input parameters for cross-scale modeling of heterogeneous rocks. However, the indentation-depth ranges over which the measured Young’s modulus and...
Carbonized elastomer-based composites (CECs) possess a number of attractive features in terms of thermomechanical and electromechanical performance, durability in aggressive media and facile net-shape formability, but their relatively low ductility a...
Instrumented nanoindentation tests have reached an effective level of theoretical and practical knowledge to become an interesting and useful tool for determining hardness, H, and local elasticity (reduced Young’s modulus), Er, of a variety of materi...
Wood-based cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) (specifically, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)) are environmentally sourced low-impact materials with remarkable thermal, mechanical, and physical properties. This uniqueness mak...
Understanding the mechanical properties of three-dimensional (3D)-printed ceramics while keeping the parts intact is crucial for advancing their application in high-performance and biocompatible fields, such as biomedical and aerospace engineering. T...
Phosphate and tellurite glasses can be used in optics, optoelectronics, magneto-optics, and nuclear and medical fields. Two series of phosphate-tellurite glasses, (50-x)ZnO-10Al2O3-40P2O5-xTeO2 and (40-x)Li2O-10Al2O3-5TiO2-45P2O5-xTeO2 (x = 5, 10), w...
