Handbook of nanoindentation with biological applications
This being the first book on the nanoindentation testing of biological materials, the focus is on general principles established over the past decade rather than specific results. The first part considers fundamental contact principles of mechanics that underlie the nanoindentation technique in the context of biological materials. The second surveys examples of specific biological systems in which nanoindentation testing has been a key tool in explicating nanomechanical structure-properties relationships. Among the topics are indentation and adhesion at small length scales, instrumentation and experimentation, computational modeling of indentation, nanoindentation of tooth tissue, and cells and membranes.
