Books by Keyword: Depth Sensing Indentation

Description: This volume contains the selected peer-reviewed papers from the 13th International Conference on Local Mechanical Properties (LMP2017, November 6 - 8, 2017, Košice, Slovakia) which cover some aspects of measuring local mechanical properties of structural materials, material systems, films, coatings, additional methods and techniques of measurements.

Description: The book brings recent results of research and development in the field of materials engineering, experimental methods, modeling, etc., with the aim to characterize mechanical properties of materials from nano to micro/meso-scale. Contributions focus on indentation and other methods for hardness as well as other mechanical properties assessment, measurement of deformations and stresses, time-dependent properties with related microstructure analyses (TEM/SEM, AFM, etc.) regardless of material type (metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, concrete, etc.).
