A number of techniques have been developed to increase the comprehensibility of software by facilitating the implicit communication between the original programmer and succeeding programmers. One such ...

Theory The behind oscillatory indentation is based on both elastic contact models and constitutive forms used to comprehend the mechanical behavior of polymers in DMA testing. The general relation ...

First-principles calculations unveil significantly enhanced indentation shear strength in nanotwinned cubic boron nitride by bond rearrangement at the twin boundary under indentation compression ...

One of the least reactive indenter materials, at high temperatures, is tungsten carbide, which facilitates its application in the process of high-temperature nanoindentation testing of metal alloys.
