This novel unit is suitable for measuring the short and long-term behavior of the material using pinpoint load not only at room temperature (20-23 °C) – like common hardness tests – but at a wide range of temperatures.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Acta Technica Jaurinensis}, author={Kotrocz, Luca and Bakonyi, Péter}, year={2018}, month={Nov.}, pages={pp. 206–217} }
