Indentation hardness
As the direction of materials science continues towards studying the basis of properties on smaller and smaller length scales, different techniques are used to quantify material characteristics and tendencies. Measuring mechanical properties for materials on smaller length scales, like thin films, can not be done using conventional uniaxial tensile testing.
