<strong>Instrumented</strong> indentation: not only hardness<br />
//// Information revealed from Nanoindentation Testing:<br />
> Hardness (instrumented, recalculated Vickers hardness)<br />
> Elastic modulus<br />
> Storage & loss modulus (polymers)<br />
- Depth profiles (hardness, Elastic modulus, storage & loss modulus)<br />
> Elastic/plastic energy ratio (measure of elasticity)<br />
> Fracture toughness (brittle materials)<br />
> Creep<br />
> Stress-strain curves (analogy to tension tests)<br />
> …etc.
