In hard disk drives, digital information is stored and retrieved magnetically by a “read head” that flies over the disk within tens of nanometers of its surface. Figure 1 is a photograph of a read ...

Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.

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 ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

Silicon nitride-based ceramics present excellent thermal and mechanical properties and compete with traditional refractory materials for resistance to corrosive media and highly fluctuating thermal ...

A study compared various artifical intelligence techniques for determining Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus. These techniques provide an alternative, less costly method for determining mechanical ...
