Stylus engagement mechanism for contact mechanics testers
An apparatus for performing a contact mechanics test by engaging multiple styluses with a substrate through a contact load that is applied by a load applicator and transferred to the styluses through a stylus load transfer mechanism. This apparatus allows the styluses to be positioned in close proximity to allow for a smaller and more compact apparatus, with less uncertainty on the magnitude of the engagement load being applied to each stylus. Ultimately, this provides a more portable apparatus for testing of material properties.
