Indentation, owing to its ability to induce permanent deformation in a controlled manner
even in highly brittle materials that are otherwise not amenable to critical mechanical testing …

Nanoindentation has become an increasingly popular method to determine the mechanical
properties of both homogeneous and heterogeneous materials. Rocks are inherently …

Creep, the time-dependent deformation of materials stressed below the yield strength, is
responsible for a great number of component failures at high temperatures. Because grain …

Time-dependent plastic deformation behavior of nanocrystalline (nc) and coarse-grained
(cg) CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) was systematically explored through a series …

Selective laser melting (SLM) was used to fabricate an equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-
entropy alloy (HEA). The SLM-fabricated CoCrFeMnNi HEA samples were studied with X …

Nanoindentation is a technique which can be used to measure the mechanical properties of
materials with high precision, even when they are only available in small quantities. As a …

The strain-rate sensitivity of ultrafine-grained aluminum (Al) and nanocrystalline nickel (Ni) is
studied with an improved nanoindentation creep method. Using the dynamic contact …

Recent advancements in electronics have renewed the interest in high strain rate
nanoindentation testing, resulting in the development of new high strain rate …

We report on the loading-rate dependence of localized plastic deformation in inorganic
covalent, metallic, ionic and superionic glasses. For this, the strain-rate sensitivity is …

Nanoindentation became a versatile tool for testing local mechanical properties beyond
hardness and modulus. By adapting standard nanoindentation test methods, simple …
