Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of the materials when force or compression is applied. Young's modulus relates to the elasticity of the material, which is ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect. In general, the depth of indentation is limited to 10% ...

Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.
