Abstract
This review article discusses methods for measuring the main mechanical properties of thin films: tensile testing, indentation, evaluation of the mechanical strength margin for the curvature of the plate-thin film system, bulge method and research using a deformed and resonant cantilever. In the process of critical analysis of domestic and foreign literary sources, the advantages and disadvantages of the methods were revealed; the authors' motivation for conducting such studies was explained. In addition to the existing widely used methods, an original and relatively new technique is given - the use of electric current as a controlled means of applying thermo mechanical stresses to electrical conductors to characterize their fatigue behavior. Approaches for increasing the mechanical strength of thin films are also indicated.
