The details of the beam specimens, material properties, instrumentation and the testing procedure used are carefully described in this paper.
PT-OCT imaging was performed on the GNR sample while altering the parameter of interest, leaving all remaining instrumentation and sample properties unchanged (n = 10).
The technique of nanoindentation, traditionally performed via dedicated indenters can now be reliably achieved using AFM instrumentation, enabling mechanical property determination at the nanoscale using the high spatial and force resolutions of the AFM.
Phantoms for ultrasound, CT and MRI are not suitable for use with optical diagnostic instrumentation because the optical properties for these phantoms do not match the liver tissue optical properties [ 15– 24].
A test requiring more instrumentation, but measuring material properties that are more useful for analysis, is the pulling apart of two sides of a sample containing a crack that is initially cut about one-third of the way through the sample.
The scientific aims are presented as well as the concepts and properties of the instrumentation.
However, other properties, such as instrumentation, provide chock control and important diagnostics.
We fully characterized the microstructure, particle size distribution, and fundamental properties by suitable instrumentation, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the process described herein.
The conceptual and physical design features, which include sizing, modal properties, excitation, and instrumentation, are discussed with the goal of creating a controlled experiment.
We are also planning further experiments with suitable instrumentation to measure the thermoelectric properties at higher temperatures (with better densified materials) as the ZT value is expected to still increase beyond the temperature range investigated in the present study.
