Instrumented Indentation Test

Meer over het boek

Focusing on mechanical testing, the book explores the limitations of traditional tensile tests, particularly for materials that cannot meet standard specimen requirements, such as nanostructured materials. It highlights the advantages of instrumented indentation tests, which are effective for assessing mechanical properties at nano and micro scales. However, it also addresses the challenge of correlating these hardness measurements with the bulk mechanical behavior of materials, emphasizing the need for methods that can bridge the gap between micro and macro testing.
