The KLA Nano Indenter G200 laser heater system (Figure1) is considered the most flexible and user-friendly instrument in the world and has been specifically developed for high-temperature mechanical ...

Instrumented indentation, or nanoindentation, is an important technique used for measuring the mechanical properties of materials, and can be conducted in situ even on the circuit board itself. This ...

(Nanowerk Application Note) Nanoindentation is derived from the classical hardness test but is carried out on a much smaller scale. It can be used to determine the hardness of thin layers as well as ...

The reliability of soldered connections in electronic packaging depends on mechanical integrity; mechanical failure can cause electrical failure. Mechanical integrity, in turn, depends on mechanical ...

The term bio-inspired materials or biomimetic materials refers to those materials whose structure or composition is based upon natural biological substances, and serve many objectives in an ...

Nanoindentation of metallic samples is closely related to hardness testing methods such as Vickers. The Vickers hardness test requires an imaging method to determine the size of the indentation cup.

Contact mechanics and nanoindentation techniques have become indispensable in investigating the fundamental and practical aspects of material behaviour. These disciplines encompass the study of stress ...

Nanoindentation workshop to celebrate the UK launch of the Bruker NanoForce, on Wednesday 8th June 2016 at Bruker’s facilities in Coventry, UK. Talks from invited speakers A presentation from Bruker ...

Size reduction of materials through comminution is employed in many industries, including agrochemicals, minerals, ceramics and pharmaceuticals. The reasons for particle size reduction depend on the ...
