This video is an introduction to stress and strain, which are fundamental concepts that are used to describe how an object responds to externally applied loads. Stress is a measure of the distribution ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

New research shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals ...

With the semiconductor industry moving toward 3D DRAM, 3D logic architectures, and 1000+ layer 3D NAND stacks, 1 mechanical failures may become more common. Due to the complexity of these structures, ...

In Session 23 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University series, nanoindentation measurement of the yield stress-strain curve is demonstrated using the iMicro nanoindenter on Ti-6Al-4V, and ...
