Scientific Abstract
Nanoindentation is the latest technology that enables researchers to measure the mechanical properties of a material on the nanometre and micrometre scale. However, it can only determine mechanical properties for controlled loads and not for impacts or collisions. Currently, researchers can reproduce high strain rates only on large, homogeneous samples. The EU-funded NanoHighSpeed project aims to advance nanoindentation into a new tool for experiments with high strain rates – enabled by advances in hardware and experimental methods. The new process will be able to characterise materials at strain rates millions of times higher and on scales that are millions of times smaller.
