Silicon dioxide films are extensively used in nano and micro-electromechanical systems. Here we studied the influence of an external electric field on the mechanical properties of a SiO2 film by using nanoindentation technique of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and friction force microscopy (FFM). A giant augmentation of the relative elastic modulus was observed by increasing the localized electr...

Since various bio-mechanical assays have been introduced for studying mechanical properties of biological samples, much progress has been made in cancer biology. It has been noted that enhanced mechanical deformability can be used as a marker for cancer diagnosis. The relation between mechanical compliances and the metastatic potential of cancer cells has been suggested to be a promising progno...

Abstract The mechanical properties of ceramic granular γ-alumina, including resistance and stability, are examined using Nano indentation scratch tests. In so doing, surface morphology, kind material used, topography, roughness the evaluated a scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy atomic force microscopy. To achieve these objectives, initial step involves synthesis ...

The work aims to obtain the local mechanical parameters of carburized layer CiNi steel. Tensile test and nano-indentation were carried out for CrNi steel, stress-strain curve load-displacement then obtained. finite element model was built, a obtaining from established combined with dimension analysis. pure iron steel calculated. results show that, analysis is accurate predicting properties iron...
