title = "Reducing uncertainties in nanoindentation",
abstract = "The measurement of material properties on the nanoscale has becoming increasing important as component size decreases. Nanoindentation is a particularly versatile method to measure mechanical properties on this scale. Because of the size of the indent, it is most commonly assessed by measuring the depth of indent and deriving properties from an assumed knowledge of the indenter geometry. The frame distortion of the instrument itself during measurement has shown to contribute significant errors in reporting the proper depth of indent. A novel nanoindentation methodology is presented here where the effects of frame distortions are reduced by 15% to 75%.",
