...) and then comparing the topographic state of the machined hybrid surfaces. Results show that PC is by far the polymer that generates the most shape defects because of its high rate of spring-back. This finding has been validated by nanoindentation experiments that reveal the highest mechanical reaction of PC...

... properties of the weld seams were studied through spatially resolved nanoindentation, and indentation fracture analysis was used to investigate the strength of the weld seams. Reflective DIC optical microscopy of cross section view (xz-plane) of a multiple-line weld seam (laser pulse energy of 10 μJ...

... substrates. The effects on the transformation temperatures are investigated through the use of temperature dependent optical microscopy and temperature dependent X-ray diffraction. The indentation modulus and hardness, as well as dissipated energy and depth recovery, are obtained through nanoindentation...

... in mechanical properties was studied through employment of spatially resolved nanoindentation. The specimen was sectioned and nanoindents were applied at the cross section to examine mechanical responses of the laser-modified region. Fracture toughness measurements are carried out to investigate the effects...
