Nanoindentation was carried out with a UMIS indentation system (Fischer Cripps Laboratories) using a Berkovich indenter tip.
In this paper, a varied-depth nano-scratch test of single grain is carried out on a nano indentation system.
Measurement data from a UMIS-2000 indentation system for different film substrate combinations are compared with theoretical results.
An indentation system was designed on a confocal microscope that allows for simultaneous loading and observation of chondrocytes in their native environment.
A custom designed robotic in-vivo indentation system was used to provide a rich experimental data set of force versus time at 18 sites across a limb.
Simultaneous measurement of the nanoprobe indentation force and the photoluminescence (PL) of In0.5Ga0.5As/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is successfully achieved by introducing a specially designed loadcell into the nanoprobe indentation system.
Mechanical properties (microhardness and adhesion) of the coatings were determined using a Ultra-Micro Indentation System UMIS-20000) adhesionscratchratestersterespectivelyely.
The indentation system is based on a light transmissible cylindrical glass indentor of 0.17 mm thickness and 1.64 mm diameter that is aligned along the focal axis of the microscope and allows for real time observation of live cells in their native environment.
Biaxial deformation was imposed on an elastic polyacrylamide substrate using a novel punch indentation system (Figure 1).
Samples were embedded in dental cement and placed into the chamber of a custom-designed in situ indentation system (Fig. 1) mounted to the stage of a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 510, Zeiss Inc., Germany).
