    Understanding the Basics of Nanoindentation and Why It Is Important

    Contact damage induced brittle fracture is a common problem in the field of brittle solids. In the case of both glass and ceramics—and as it relates to both natural and artificial bio-materials—it has triggered the need for improved fabrication technology and new product development in the industry.

    The Nanoindentation Technique Is Especially Dedicated to Brittle Materials

    Nanoindentation of Brittle Solids highlights the science and technology of nanoindentation related to brittle materials, and considers the applicability of the nanoindentation technique. This book provides a thorough understanding of basic contact induced deformation mechanisms, damage initiation, and growth mechanisms. Starting from the basics of contact mechanics and nanoindentation, it considers contact mechanics, addresses contact issues in brittle solids, and explores the concepts of hardness and elastic modulus of a material. It examines a variety of brittle solids and deciphers the physics of deformation and fracture at scale lengths compatible with the microstructural unit block.

    • Discusses nanoindentation data analysis methods and various nanoindentation techniques
    • Includes nanoindentation results from the authors’ recent research on natural biomaterials like tooth, bone, and fish scale materials
    • Considers the nanoindentation response if contact is made too quickly in glass
    • Explores energy issues related to the nanoindentation of glass
    • Describes the nanoindentation response of a coarse grain alumina
    • Examines nanoindentation on microplasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings

    Nanoindentation of Brittle Solids provides a brief history of indentation, and explores the science and technology of nanoindentation related to brittle materials. It also offers an in-depth discussion of indentation size effect; the evolution of shear induced deformation during indentation and scratches, and includes a collection of related research works.

    Biography

    Dr. Arjun Dey is a scientist at the Thermal System Group of ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore. Dr. Dey earned a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering in 2003, followed by a master’s in materials engineering from Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, Howrah in 2007. While working at CSIR-Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CSIR-CGCRI), Kolkata, he earned his doctoral degree in materials science and engineering in 2011 from the Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, Howrah. The research work of Dr. Dey culminated in more than 120 publications to his credit.

    Dr. Anoop Kumar Mukhopadhyay is a chief scientist and head of the Mechanical Property Evaluation Section in the Materials Characterization Division of CSIR-CGCRI, Kolkata, India. He also heads the Program Management Division and Business Development Group of CSIR-CGCRI. He obtained his bachelor’s degree with honours in physics from Kalyani University, Kalyani in 1978 followed by a master’s degree in physics from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 1982. Dr. Mukhopadhyay has written nearly 200 publications including SCI journals, national and international conference proceedings. He has written seven patents and published three book chapters.

    "This book is written in a very colloquial style and subdivided into many small sections each with a different group of authors… The emphasis is very much on the use of pointed indenters to investigate the micro and nano-mechanical properties of brittle materials. The strength of the book is the wide range of brittle materials that the book covers. It also provides the basis upon which the science of nano or instrumented indentation mechanics is based. … a convenient reference book for students and researchers in the area of brittle materials."
    ––Michael Swain, Biomaterials, The University of Sydney, Australia

    "The book covers a wide range of topics and as such can attract a wide variety of the audience. … for insight of practical issues that are encountered when dealing with nanoindentation and brittle materials. It can also serve as a valuable source of references in the field."
    ––Jiri Nemecek, Czech Technical University in Prague

    "… a simple but powerful resource for students, researchers and faculty who want to work in areas of emerging materials needs in fields of space, defense, biomedical, etc."
    —Dr. Satyam Priyadarshy, ReIgnite Strategy / Georgetown University
