It is quite difficult to accurately measure the mechanical properties of thin films. Currently, there are several methods (or application) available for measuring mechanical properties of thin films. Their properties, however, have been determined by indirect methods such as cantilever beam test and diaphragm bulge test. This paper reports the efforts to develop a direct strain measurement system for micro/nano scale thin film materials. The proposed solution is the Visual Image Tracing (VIT) strain measurement system coupled with a micro tensile testing unit, which consists of a piezoelectric actuator, load cell, microscope and CCD cameras. The advantage of this system is the ability to monitor the real time images of specimen during the test in order to determine its Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio at the same time. Stress-strain curve, Young’s modulus, yield strength and Poisson’s ratio of copper thin film measured using VIT system are presented.

Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s ratio are the mechanical properties that need to be determined for the production of engineering design or information for the numerical analysis of timber. In this study, Merpauh, Kapur and Sesenduk species were selected. This experimental investigation focuses on the elastic properties of those timber species. The Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) and Poisson’s ratio were determined by means of tensile tests. In addition, Modulus of Rigidity (MOR), tensile strength capacity and its moisture contents were also determined. The deformation during testing was measured by means of mechanical extensometer. The MOE of the studied species range from 36.7 N/mm2 to 119.2 N/mm2, whereas Poisson’s ratio values show less variability. The result of the study also shows that the mechanical properties for the species are related. The larger the density value, the larger value of stress and strain will be. Thus, the value of Poisson ratio will also increase, respectively.

ABSTRACTNanoindentation has been successfully used as a mechanical properties microprobe to characterise the elastic properties of materials. However, in an isotropic material it is not possible to measure the two independent elastic constants by nanoindentation. Normally, a value of Young's modulus is determined using an assumed value for Poisson's ratio. It is also possible to use the acoustic microscope in its z-contrast mode to measure the elastic constants of a surface. This too produces a composite measurement of the elastic properties, which can be represented in terms of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. By using both techniques on the same sample area, it is possible to make two independent measurements of the elastic properties and thus determine both Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. This method has been used on well-characterised bulk materials, e.g. silica glass, to demonstrate that it produces consistent results. It has also been uused to characterise thin films of TiN/NbN multilayers. These results show that, although for thin films there is a need to improve the analysis of the mechanics, the combination of nanoindentation and acoustic microscopy shows promise.
