This chapter introduces the concepts that define the mechanical properties characterized by
nanoindentation, the fundamentals of nanoindentation, nanoindentation applications in …

We present a novel out-of-oven method for curing carbon fiber reinforced composites
(CFRCs) using radio frequency (RF) fields and assess the effects of fiber heating on the fiber …

A micro-/nano-scale technique is presented for characterizing early stage damage formation
on un-sized individual carbon fibers as well as embedded carbon fibers exposed to cyclic …

The presented work considers the characterization of a continuous fiber-reinforced
thermoplastic (FRTP) with unidirectional plies under quasi-static, multiaxial loading …

Evaluating the transverse and shear modulus of carbon fibers experimentally is challenging
and are usually obtained by an inverse approach using a micromechanical model. This …

Based on representative volume element (RVE) with interphase region between fiber and

In the present study, data generated from nanoindentation were used in order to reconstruct
the surface constituent phases of mortar grids through machine learning algorithms …

Tremendous progress in nanomechanical testing and modelling has been made during the
last two decades. This progress emerged from different areas of materials science dealing …
