New Double Indentation Technique for Measurement of the Elasticity Modulus of Thin Objects

Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new method to determine the Young's modulus of thin (biological) samples. The method is especially suitable for small objects with a thickness of a few hundred micrometers. Such specimens cannot be examined with existing tests: compression and tensile tests need well-known geometry and boundary conditions while classic indentation tests need relatively thick pieces of material. In order to determine the elastic modulus we use the indentation theory as proposed by Sneddon and correc… Show more

“…The double-indentation technique was designed to acquire the Young modulus of thin samples. Four test materials (aluminium, PVC ( polyvinyl chloride), PMMA ( poly (methyl methacrylate), nylon) with different thicknesses were used to verify the proposed technique and the FE-calculated correction factor [17]. However, it should be noted that the anisotropy of bone is not considered in the model.…”

“…This was done in three regions of the mandibles: at the tip, in the middle and at the base. The elasticity modulus (Young's modulus) was measured with a custom-built double indentation set-up, a technique especially designed for small, thin samples (for a detailed description, see [26,27]). To evaluate the potential difference in Young's modulus between the cuticle layers, the measurements were repeated after scraping away approximately 20% of the thickness of the samples of one individual.…”

“…Here, we propose two techniques to quantify the Young moduli in bone and keratin of the beak of the Java finch. First, a double-indentation technique designed to measure thin biological samples [14,15] is used. Second, an inverse analysis is performed: in an FE model, we adjust the material properties to obtain the best fit between a model and an experimental measurement quantifying actual beak deformation using digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI).…”
