This work demonstrated that the interfacial work of adhesion and elastic modulus of a compliant polymer can be obtained from simple instrumented indentation testing without area measurement, and provided an algorithm for compliant polymer characterization.
A novel methodology is proposed for estimating the strain hardening exponent of a metal single crystal directly from the spherical indentation test, without the need of solving the relevant inverse problem.
The OsteoProbe is a second-generation reference point indentation (RPI) device without a reference probe that is designed to simplify RPI testing for clinical use.
The smooth hammerhead differs from other large hammerheads in the shape of its cephalofoil, which has a curved front margin without an indentation in the center.
This species is named "smooth hammerhead" because of the distinctive shape of the head, which is flattened and laterally extended into a hammer shape (called the "cephalofoil"), without an indentation in the middle of the front margin (hence "smooth").
New semicells, without the characteristically lobed morphology, but almost without indentations, grew out three-dimensionally. Upon a new cell division of one of the daughter cells, the same phenotype was observed, whereas the newly formed semicells were also fused with each other.
The total and reversible engineering shear strains of the cell wall (∼60 graphite layers, ∼20 nm thick) are up to 40 and 35 respectively during instrumented indentation (in the compaction direction) without fracture of the layers, compared to corresponding values of 12 and 8 for flexible graphite (38 vol.% solid).
Missing information at the edges also resulted in a shape of the imaged area without a distinct indentation of the tools into the sheet (Figs. 10 and 12).
