Indenter Tip Radius and Micro-Indentation Hardness [PDF]
Using finite element method with the conventional J 2 theory and strain gradient theory respectively, the effect of the indenter tip radius on the micro-indentation hardness is investigated in the present paper. It is found that the former can not predict the size effect even considering the indenter tip radius, while the latter gives a good agreement ...

Thermal-Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane-Clay Shape Memory Polymer Nanocomposites [PDF]
Shape memory nanocomposites of polyurethane (PU)-clay were fabricated by melt mixing of PU and nano-clay. Based on nano-indentation and microhardness tests, the strength of the nanocomposites increased dramatically as a function of clay content, which is
