Mechanics of Indentation into Micro- and Nanoscale Forests of Tubes, Rods, or Pillars

The force-depth behavior of indentation into fibrillar-structured surfaces such as those consisting of forests of micro- or nanoscale tubes or rods is a depth-dependent behavior governed by compression, bending, and buckling of the nanotubes. Using a micromechanical model of the indentation process,...
