Exploratory Investigation of Viscoelastic Nanoindentation on Polyvinyl Acetate
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)Nanoindentation load-displacement data of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) was obtained at different temperatures ranging from ~20 oC to 42 oC using two novel equipments, Hysitron Triboindenter and Interfacial Force Microscopy ... -
Investigation of the Near Surface Mechanical Properties of Ammonium Perchlorate by Nanoindentation
(Oklahoma State University, 2004-05-01)The mechanical response of crystalline energetic solids to force loading is known to play a role in thermal decomposition, and also contributes to the overall mechanical behavior of the composite solid propellant. Ammonium ... -
Investigation of the Near Surface Mechanical Properties of Au-ti Thin Films
(Oklahoma State University, 2008-07-01)Gold is a common metal chosen for MEMS electrical contacts because of its high conductivity, ductility, inertness, and low resistivity, contact resistance and susceptibility to oxidation. However, due to the low hardness ...
