Research Area

The Nano/ Micro Mechanical Behavior Laboratory has developed both experimental and theoretical approaches towards the better understanding of the small scale (especially micro- or nano-level) mechanical behaviors of materials. Our group has developed a variety of new applications for the instrumented micro / nano indentation technique, and has also investigated nano-scale deformation, phase transformation and cracking of semiconductoturs, metals, ceramics, polymers, glasses, etc
