Finding Minimal Optimal Indent Separation for Polystyrene via Instrumental Nanoindentation and FEA Method

Nanoindentation became a standard non-destructive technique to measure mechanical properties at the submicron scale of various materials. A set of empirical rules were established to guarantee the validity of the results. One of those rules is the separation between individual indents that should be...
