Filling a Gap in Materials Mechanics: Nanoindentation at High Constant Strain Rates up to 105 s−1
A piezoelectric nanoindentation platform enables constant strain‐rate testing up to 105 s−1, extending experimental capabilities to extreme deformation regimes. Distinct hardness upturns are revealed across crystalline and amorphous materials, verified as intrinsic responses through quasi‐static reloading.
