This Matlab toolbox has been developed to plot and to analyze (nano)indentation data (with conical indenters). Please, have a look to the full documentation here: http://nims.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
To get started with NIMS, clone the repository, then run Matlab, and cd into the folder containing this README file.
You can start the launcher by typing "GUI_Extraction_EP_properties_for_multilayer_sample" at the Matlab command prompt.
This Matlab toolbox has been developed to : - Plot and Analyze nanoindentation dataset; - Coefficient of the power law fit of the load-displacement curve; - Energy of the loading (area below the load-displacement curve); - Young's modulus and Hardness of bulk materials; - Young's modulus of thin films on a substrate (for a bilayer or a multilayer sample (3 layers on a substrate)); - Generate Python script for FEM simulation of indentation test on multilayer sample with Abaqus.
