Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

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 ...

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.

Silicon nitride-based ceramics present excellent thermal and mechanical properties and compete with traditional refractory materials for resistance to corrosive media and highly fluctuating thermal ...
