The authors present a combined experimental and simulative approach targeted on unsolved questions of size effects within newly developed nanomaterials and highly integrated systems. The experimental approach is based on in-situ SPM scans of the analyzed object carried out at different thermomechanical load states. With the application of digital image correlation techniques displacement fields with nanometer accuracy are derived. A simulative approaches is performed by homogenization which is the modeling of a representative volume of bulk material taking into account spatial distribution of filler particles. The results of the homogenization are input data for standard finite element codes.ennano deformation analysis621Fracture mechanical characterization of micro- and nano-filled polymers by a combined experimental and simulative procedureconference paper
