Title: Method and apparatus for determination of mechanical properties of functionally-graded materials

Abstract

Techniques for the determination of mechanical properties of homogeneous or functionally-graded materials from indentation testing are presented. The technique is applicable to indentation on the nano-scale through the macro-scale including the geological scale. The technique involves creating a predictive load/depth relationship for a sample, providing an experimental load/depth relationship, comparing the experimental data to the predictive data, and determining a physical characteristic from the comparison.
