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

Figure 6

Deformation versus cantilever deflection: experimental curves of glass (grey circles), GeoB (filled circles), and epoxy (blank circles). Standard deviation of the average curve is shown as error bars. The Hertz fit of each experimental curve yields Young’s modulus. For comparison, the ADFS curves on glass and epoxy were rescaled and added to the plot (red markers).
