Modeling and Calibration of a MEMS Tensile Stage for Elevated Temperature Experiments on Freestanding Metallic Thin Films

abstract: Mechanical behavior of metallic thin films at room temperature (RT) is relatively well characterized. However, measuring the high temperature mechanical properties of thin films poses several challenges. These include ensuring uniformity in sample temperature and minimizing temporal fluctu...
