<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.
