Nanoparticles Young's modulus determination on the basis of numerical simulation and experimental investigations. Part 2. Procedure for reconciliation of elastic experiments and numerical calculations

Method of determining the Young's modulus of the material micro- and nanoparticles, based on the analysis of the results of the pilot interconnected indentation and numerical computer simulation of the indentation method of finite elements is proposed. Modulus of elasticity of the particle is determined by iteration to match the depth of penetration of the indenter into a particle at a predetermined load calculations and experiments. The technique allows determining the elastic modulus of the micro- and nanoparticles of arbitrary shape.
