This is a note on the compressive modulus of elasticity of Gap Pad materials, including the variability in compressive modulus values, the constant rate of strain relaxation modulus, and compression ...

Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and MoS 2, are films of a few atomic layers in thickness with strong in-plane bonds and weak interactions between the layers. The in-plane elasticity has ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect. In general, the depth of indentation is limited to 10% ...

This webinar investigates the advantages and usage of AFM on studying the mechanics of soft materials from Bruker. AFM methods to obtain absolute values of elastic modulus are described. This is ...

Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.
