Novel nanoindentation strain rate sweep method for continuously investigating the strain rate sensitivity of materials at the nanoscale

We introduce a new nanoindentation method to continuously measure the hardness while sweeping through orders of magnitudes of strain rates within a single experiment. While nanoindentation already allows the determination of the strain rate sensitivity of materials by means of strain rate jump tests...
