... nanomechanical properties obtained through nanoindentation with microstructure obtained through electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). By associating mechanical properties obtained from each indent with the corresponding crystallographic direction, we calculate the weighted average hardness and modulus...

... of the mechanical characteristics of two model materials (lithiated and sodiated germanium (Ge)) by nanoindentation. A particular focus of the study was on the indentation size effects and harnessing them to understand the chemo-mechanical interplay in these materials. While the quasi-static measurement results...

... 2016 surface roughness contact stiffness thin film nanoindentation statistical rough contact models asperity interaction Engineering surfaces are rough at some length-scale, and therefore, the contact between these surfaces happens at some discrete micro/nanoscale spots called...

... fraction, as well as microscopic parameters, such as the characterized distributions of the osteons diameters. Bone local mechanical properties are measured by nanoindentation and microextensometry. The three-dimensional microstructures are discretized by a finite element method in order to evaluate...

... sheets. As such, the loading on graphite at the nanoscale is characterized by the membrane force, the bending moment, and the shear force in the graphene sheets. Cylindrical nanoindentation of graphite is analyzed by applying a special boundary element method that employs Green’s function for multilayers...
