With vast amounts of data created by nanoindentation testing, materials science researchers often find themselves struggling to analyze and utilize said data efficiently and effectively. As a result, the goal of this project was to develop the Universal Nanoindentation Toolkit (UNiT). The toolkit implemented methods to analyze nanoindentation data in ways that were not previously available to materials scientists, providing improved accessibility for these methods and allowing for more significant analysis of nanoindentation data. In addition, the user interface was developed and refined through user testing, and the implementation of each method was validated against other materials science tests to prove its accuracy.
