Abstract

The design and performance of an SEM-based microindentor, for interfacial property measurements in CMCs, is described. It enables high resolution imaging and simultaneous load/displacement monitoring with capacity and resolution of 20N ± lmN (load) and 100μm ± 10nm (displacement). Its application to measurement of interface debond and shear stresses for a wide range of fibres and monofilaments is described.
