Quantitative imaging of Young’s modulus of solids: A contact-mechanics study [PDF]
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2008 We developed equipment and methods for measuring quantitatively the local Young’s modulus of solids. It consists of an electrodeless langasite oscillator and line antennas, and oscillator vibrations are generated and detected contactlessly. A constant biasing force results from oscillator mass and is independent of surface roughness.

Strain-Dependent Solid Surface Stress and the Stiffness of Soft Contacts
Physical Review X, 2017 Surface stresses have recently emerged as a key player in the mechanics of highly compliant solids. The classic theories of contact mechanics describe adhesion with a compliant substrate as a competition between surface energies driving deformation to ...
