Improvement in Calibration Procedure in Nanoindentation: An Indenter Bluntness Indicator
Nanoindentation experiments require the calibration of the tip area function, which involves up to 9 fitting coefficients following classical method. These coefficients are determined from indentation tests on...

Multi-scale mechanical characterization of the interface in 3D printed concrete
To be printable, the cementitious ink may have contradictory properties. It must be fluid enough initially to be pumpable and extrudable, also should stiffen quickly after deposition to be buildable. This coul...

Self-calibration in compliance and indenter tip defect for instrumented indentation
The accuracy in the determination of the mechanical properties by instrumented indentation strongly depends on the indenter/material contact area, the corrective compliance, and the indenter tip defect. For th...

Strain gradient plasticity to study hardness behavior of magnetite (Fe3O4) under multicyclic indentation
The hardness of a material is generally affected by the indentation size effect. The strain gradient plasticity (SGP) theory is largely used to study this load dependence because it links the hardness to the i...
