DOI: 10.1007/s11340-019-00565-5
Abstract: There have been relatively few studies on mechanical properties of nanomaterials under high strain rates, mainly due to the lack of capable nanomechanical testing devices. Here we present a new on-chip microelectromechanical system (MEMS) for… read more here.

Abstract: Nanomechanical testing methods originated in the 1980s with atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based indentation to probe the hardness and modulus of thin films. The subsequent development of standalone nanoindentation techniques resulted in an unprecedented, widespread expansion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1431927618014411
Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are of growing use in aircraft because of their high specific strength and stiffness. Crack initiation and propagation determine mechanical properties of CFRP, though their mechanism has not been… read more here.
