Understanding the Basics of Nanoindentation and Why It Is ImportantContact damage induced brittle fracture is a common problem in the field of brittle solids. In the case of both glass and ceramicsand as it relates to both natural and artificial bio-materialsit has triggered the need for improved fabrication technology and new product development in the industry.The Nanoindentation Technique Is Especially Dedicated to Brittle MaterialsNanoindentation of Brittle Solids highlights the science and technology of nanoindentation related to brittle materials, and considers the applicability of the nanoindentation technique. This book provides a thorough understanding of basic contact induced deformation mechanisms, damage initiation, and growth mechanisms. Starting from the basics of contact mechanics and nanoindentation, it considers contact mechanics, addresses contact issues in brittle solids, and explores the concepts of hardness and elastic modulus of a material. It examines a variety of brittle solids and deciphers the physics of deformation and fracture at scale lengths compatible with the microstructural unit block.Discusses nanoindentation data analysis methods and various nanoindentation techniquesIncludes nanoindentation results from the authors recent research on natural biomaterials like tooth, bone, and fish scale materialsConsiders the nanoindentation response if contact is made too quickly in glassExplores energy issues related to the nanoindentation of glassDescribes the nanoindentation response of a coarse grain aluminaExamines nanoindentation on microplasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coatingsNanoindentation of Brittle Solids provides a brief history of indentation, and explores the science and technology of nanoindentation related to brittle materials. It also offers an in-depth discussion of indentation size effect; the evolution of shear induced deformation during indentation and scratches, and includes a collection of related research works.
