The macroscopic mechanical properties of steel are highly dependent upon microstructure, crystallographic orientation of grains and distribution of each phase present, etc. Nanomechanical testing using depth sensing indentation (DSI) provides a straightforward solution for quantitatively characterizing each of phases in microstructure because it is very powerful technique for characterization of materials in small volumes. Measuring the local properties of each microstructure component separately in multiphase materials gives information that is valuable for the development of new materials and for modelling. The work experimentally analyses the effect of strain history on the mechanical properties of individual components in steel sheets by depth sensing indentation. The measurements were carried out on broken tensile specimens.

The macroscopic mechanical properties of steel are highly dependent upon microstructure, morphology, and distribution of each phase present. Nanomechanical testing (Depth sensing indentation) provides a straightforward solution for quantitatively characterizing each of these phases because it is very powerful technique for characterization of materials in small volumes. Measuring the intrinsic properties of each phase separately in multiphase materials gives information that is valuable for the development of new materials and for modelling [1]. In this work, depth sensing indentation has been used to reveal mechanical properties of different phases in steel sheets.

Nanomechanical testing using depth sensing indentation (DSI) provides a straightforward solution for quantitatively characterizing each of phases in microstructure because it is very powerful technique for characterization of materials in small volumes. Measuring the local properties (indentation hardness HIT, indentation modulus EIT, indentation energy: total Wtotal, elastic Welast, plastic Wplast) of each microstructure component separately in multiphase materials gives information that is valuable for the development of new materials and for modelling. The mechanical properties of materials measured by DSI are affected by the experimental procedure, by the measurement conditions and factors which result from the material characteristics and device construction. We have to determine the effect of individual factors on the measurement in order to reach the repeatability and to allow the comparing the mechanical properties of the material. The aim of this investigation is to determine the measurement factors that affect indentation hardness of individual microstructural components and global mechanical properties of thin steel sheets. We investigated the factors which result from the material characteristics (crystallographic orientation of grain, grain boundary and anisotropy), preparation of the sample surface (roughness of sample surface) and method of measurement (pile-up, ISE).

Nanomechanical testing using depth sensing indentation (DSI) provides a straightforward solution for characterizing of mechanical properties (indentation hardness HIT, Young’s modulus EIT, indentation energy: total Wtotal, elastic Welast, plastic Wplast) of homogeneous (bulk) materials. However, real materials such as multi-phase steels are a heterogeneous material on the microscopic scale (microstructure). We need to know the local mechanical properties of each phase separately in those materials for reasons development of new materials and for modeling. Mechanical properties of each phase separately in multiphase materials are difficult or even impossible to examine in bulk material ex situ.In this paper we describe the technique for measuring the mechanical properties of each phase separately in multiphase steel by two-dimensional mapping tool. This approach relies on large arrays of nanoindentations (known as grid indentation) and statistical analysis of the resulting data [1, 2]. The aim of this investigation is to optimize the parameters of the grid indentation for a given microstructure of steel sheets.

Depth-sensing indentation (DSI) is used in this work to determine the change of local mechanical properties by annealing of hot-dip galvanized IF steel sheets. The influence of annealing conditions (temperature and time) on: (i) coating composition; (ii) local mechanical properties and (iii) roughness of the coating surface was quantified. Annealing of steel samples (Ti-IF steel and Ti-Nb-P-IF steel alloyed with phosphorus) was performed with different holding times (10, 60, and 300 s) by both temperatures 450 and 550 °C. The zinc in coating transformed during annealing to the intermetallic phases ZnxFey. Annealed Zn-Fe coatings, wherein the iron concentration falls towards the surface, consist of different intermetallic phases.

In reality, nanoindentation test is an efficient technique for probing the mechanical properties of biological tissue that soaked in the liquid media to keep the bioactivity. However, the effects of flotage imposed on the indenter will lead to inaccuracy when calculating mechanical properties (for instance, elastic modulus and hardness) by using depth-sensing nanoindentation. In this paper, the effects of flotage on the nanoindentation results of cortical bone were investigated by finite element analysis (FEA) simulation. Comparisons of nanoindentation simulation results of bone samples with and without being soaked in the liquid media were carried out. Conclusions show that the difference of load-displacement curves in the case of soaking sample and without soaking sample conditions varies widely based on the change of indentation depth. In other words, the nanoindentation measurements in liquid media will cause significant error in the calculated Young’s modules and hardness due to the flotage. By taking into account the effect of flotage, these errors are particularly important to the accurate biomechanics characterization of biological samples.

The National Technical University of Athens undertook the compilation of an "Integrated Diagnostic Research Project and Strategic Planning for Materials, Interventions Conservation and Rehabilitation of the Holy Aedicule of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem". This paper focuses on the work merging the geometric documentation with the characterization of materials, the identification of building phases and the diagnosis of decay and pathology through the use of analytical and non-destructive techniques. Through this integrated approach, i.e. through the documentation and characterization of the building materials, through the diagnosis of decay and pathology, through the accurate geometric documentation of the building and through the non-destructive prospection of its internal structure, it was feasible to identify the construction phases of the Holy Aedicule, identifying the remnants of the preserved earlier constructions and the original monolithic Tomb. This work, thus, demonstrates that the adoption of an interdisciplinary approach for integrated documentation is a powerful tool for a better understanding of monuments, both in terms of its structural integrity, as well as in terms of its state of preservation, both prerequisites for effective rehabilitation.
