Nanoindentation (2nd Ed)ISBN 0 387 22045 3
by A.C. Fischer-Cripps
 |
This book presents a comprehensive and detailed overview of
the field of nanoindentation. The underlying theory behind
the extraction of elastic modulus, hardness and other properties from the load-displacement data is
discussed along with the various systematic and materials-related
corrections involved. Also covered are the various methods of
testing, details of an international standard for depth-sensing
indentation testing, the significance of surface forces and
adhesion, details of commercially available instruments, and sample
applications of the technique. Useful appendices cover geometrical
formulae, frequently asked questions, mathematical techniques -
everything you need to know about nanoindentation is presented here
and assumes no prior knowledge of the technique. Now in its second
edition, this book is an invaluable aid to everyone who uses, or is
investigating, nanoindentation for material property measurement.
The principles in this book are embodied in every

Introduction To Contact Mechanics (2nd Ed)
ISBN 978 0 387 68187 0
by A.C. Fischer-Cripps

|
This book deals
with the mechanics of solid bodies in contact, a subject intimately
connected with such topics as fracture, hardness, and elasticity.
The book begins with an introduction to the mechanical properties of
materials, general fracture mechanics, and the fracture of brittle
solids. This is followed by a detailed description of indentation
stress fields for both elastic and elastic-plastic contact. The
discussion then turns to the formation of Hertzian cone cracks in
brittle materials, subsurface damage in ductile materials, and the
meaning of hardness. The book concludes with an overview of
practical methods of indentation testing. The intention is for this
book to make contact mechanics accessible to those entering the
field for the first time.
