The structural integrity of the microdevices, just like an engine or a gear box, depends on the reliability of each minute component. It is therefore critically important to know the mechanical properties of micro-materials under various physical and\/or chemical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; We developed a special experimental technique to approach this issue. Micro-specimens were fabricated with an ion-beam processing method, and they were subjected to in situ deformation\/fracture tests under electron microscopy. The example shown here reveals that the fracture nucleation from an interface edge can be successfully characterized by the fracture mechanics approach even though the specimen dimension is very very small!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr1.jpg 880w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr1-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr1-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr1-360x213.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr2.jpg 838w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr2-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr2-768x298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr2-360x140.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr3.jpg 803w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr3-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr3-360x201.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"706\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr4.jpg 706w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr4-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp\/strength-e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/321\/2024\/05\/micro-fr4-342x270.jpg 342w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more detail, see\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Y.
