Nanoindentation experiments on some amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) thin films on silicon
Ultra-low-load indentation (nanoindentation) experiments have been used to investigate the load-displacement characteristics of two types of hydrogenated carbon films (a “hard” and a “soft” version ∼230 and ∼2...

The mechanical properties of ceramics from bauxite waste
This paper summarizes the development of engineering ceramics made from bauxite waste (“red mud”) produced in the alumina industry in Jamaica. Test specimens are fabricated from powders by sintering. For a par...
