Mechanical Properties of Boehmite Evaluated by Atomic Force Microscopy Experiments and Molecular Dynamic Finite Element Simulations

Figure 9

Deformation-deflection curves, derived from averaged FDC, measured on glass (blank circles) with its Hertz fit (black line) and hyB (approach black circles, retract grey circles) at the spots A, B, and C. The Hertz curve of epoxy was calculated and is shown for comparison (black line).
