An Experimental Technique for the Study of the Mechanical Behavior of Thin Film Materials at Micro- and Nano-Scale

An experimental technique has been presented to probe the mechanical behavior of thin film materials. The method is capable of tensile testing thin films on substrate and free-standing thin film specimens. A mechanical gripper was designed to address the current challenges in gripping thin film spec...
