In pursuit of energy efficiency and durability throughout human history, advances in
lubricants have always played important roles. Ionic liquids (ILs) are room-temperature …

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 …

For decades, nanoindentation has been used for measuring mechanical properties of films
with the widely used assumption that if the indentation depth does not exceed 10% of the …

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

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 …

Abstract High-Speed Nanoindentation Mapping (HSNM) has been recently developed and
established as a novel enabling technology for fast and reliable assessment of small-scale …

We provide an overview of the basic concepts of scaling and dimensional analysis, followed
by a review of some of the recent work on applying these concepts to modeling instrumented …

Unique synergistic effects between phosphonium-alkylphosphate ionic liquids and zinc
dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) are discovered when used together as lubricant additives …

Glass is a material with essentially unlimited application possibilities. This second edition of
a comprehensive reference in glass science, points out the correlation between the …

A range of mechanical properties of a coating/substrate system may be obtained using
indentation tests, and with the emergence of continuously recording indentation testing with …
