About this book

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline forged and shaped by the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound issues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions. The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduate texts and research mono­ graphs intended to address the need for information in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and re­ search. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consulting editors on the advisory board, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consulting editors are listed on the facing page of this volume. The areas of concentration are applied mechanics, biomechanics, computational me­ chanics, dynamic systems and control, energetics, mechanics of materials, proc­ essing, production systems, thermal science, and tribology.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book presents a comprehensive and detailed overview of the field of nanoindentation. … Also covered are the various methods of testing, details of an international standard for depth-sensing … . Self-contained, the treatment is aimed at those entering the field, but by bringing together material scattered widely throughout the research literature the book will also be a useful reference for the more experienced researcher." (Zeitschrift für Kristallographie, Issue 9-10, 2005)
