Depth sensing indentation is a powerful experimental technique for determining mechanical properties of materials. In this work a computational routine was developed based on Oliver-Pharr method for ...

Young’s modulus and shear modulus are essential mechanical parameters for evaluating subsurface rocks, playing a pivotal role in the exploration and development of unconventional resources. Young’s ...

Generative AI has revolutionized how we create text and images. How about designing novel materials? We at Microsoft Research AI4Science are thrilled to announce MatterGen, our generative model that ...

ABSTRACT: Despite a wealth of experimental studies focused on determining and improving mechanical properties and development of fundamental understanding of underlying mechanisms behind nucleation ...

Fluid-saturated rocks are multi-phasic materials and the mechanics of partitioning the externally applied stresses between the porous skeleton of the rock and the interstitial fluids has to take into ...

Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.

A number of essential processes in biology and materials science, such as vesicle fusion and fission as well as pore formation, change the membrane topology and require formation of saddle surfaces.
