Publisher's Synopsis
Understanding the Basics of Nanoindentation and Why It Is Important
Contact damage induced brittle fracture is a common problem in the field of brittle solids. In the case of both glass and ceramics-and as it relates to both natural and artificial bio-materials-it has triggered the need for improved fabrication technology and new product development in the industry.
