Applied Nanoindentation in Advanced Materials is a  comprehensive, self-contained reference covering applied aspects of  nanoindentation in advanced materials. Nanoindentation is a fast  growing area of research and this book includes contains  contributions from leading researchers in the field. It includes  the analysis of key properties that can be studied using the  nanoindentation technique, as well as worked examples.    
  Applied Nanoindentation in Advanced Materials is divided  into three parts. Part one covers innovations and analysis, and  parts two and three examine the application and evaluation of soft  and ceramic-like materials respectively.
