Assessment of elastic properties of coatings by three-point bending and nanoindentation
The elastic properties of a thermally sprayed coating were determined by a three-point bending (3PB) test and nanoindentation, but different results were obtained by the two methods. The microstructure reveale...

A plastic damage model for finite element analysis of cracking of silicon under indentation
A modified plastic damage model that accounts for tensile damage and compressive plasticity as well as interactions among them is adopted to simulate the indentation-induced cracking of silicon under Berkovich...

Influence of acetylene to argon flow rate ratios on structure and properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon films produced on steel substrates by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition
Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films were fabricated using mixed acetylene and argon plasma with various flow rate ratios of acetylene to argon. Raman scattering and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy sho...

The behavior and effect of rare earth CeO2 on in-situ TiC/Al composite
Rare earth CeO2 was investigated as an additive for in-situ preparation of TiC/Al composites using XD (exothermal dispersion) + casting technology. Experiment results showed that an optimum CeO2 addition of 0.5 w...
