The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. Dr Clifford Hicks, Reader in Condensed Matter Physics, who ...

In Session 22 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University series, recent advances in nanoindentation techniques can be used to measure the entire stress-strain curve, even within a single metal ...

Using neutrons to see the additive manufacturing process at the atomic level, scientists have shown that they can measure strain in a material as it evolves and track how atoms move in response to ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A new motorized three-point-bending apparatus has been developed that is capable of automating strain engineering experiments on two-dimensional (2D) materials. The setup can be ...
