In Session 7 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University series, we delve deeper into nanoindentation testing by looking at dynamic nanoindentation. This webinar focuses primarily on the theory behind dynamic nanoindentation and the definition of key terms and parameters.
About this webinar
Session 7 provides a brief overview of basic nanoindentation testing before moving on to the concept of dynamic nanoindentation testing, including a discussion of static vs. dynamic Young’s modulus response for fused silica and steel. The Continuous Stiffness Method (CSM) is also discussed, with time spent discussing the simple harmonic oscillator model as it is used in dynamic nanoindentation testing and in the design of the nanomechanical actuator of the iMicro nanoindenter.
Note: for Session 7, it is recommended to view the following Indentation University webinar as background for the discussion:
