MICROCOMPRESSION HIGH CYCLE FATIGUE TESTS UP TO 10 MILLION CYCLES

摘要

Nanomechanical tests are moving beyond hardness and modulus to encompass host of different mechanical properties like strain rate sensitivity [1, 2], stress relaxation [3], creep, and fracture toughness [4] by taking advantage of focused ion beam milled geometries. Adding high cycle fatigue to this list will be useful to extend the gamut of properties studied at the micro/nanoscale.
