Compressive loading was measured at 0.5 μN/s with an AC load amplitude of 0.3 μN at 200 Hz. To ensure that contact with the cell membrane was distinguished from contact with the glass coverslip, an ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.
