To put it simply, the Young's modulus is related to the compression distance α, and the instantaneous stiffness S. Eq. 2 is less sensitive to the usual measurement errors in the absolute values of α ...

The empirical Young's Modulus increases and then decreases with increase of estimated GM thickness. The Young's modulus for SiC grain sizes has a maximum value at a GM thickness of around 0.6µm.

Figure 2b shows both the apparent Young’s modulus (solid symbols) and the Young’s modulus of the film alone (open symbols) plotted as a function of normalized indentation depth. The fact that the two ...

Nanoindentation: A technique that uses a sharp tip (indenter) to apply a controlled load to a sample and measures the resulting indentation depth.By analyzing the load-displacement data, the Young's ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

The parameters in question are the elastic modulus and glass transition – essentially how stiff the material is and at what temperature the material transitions from a rigid state to a rubbery ...
