The short-ranged bonding structure of organosilicate glasses can vary to a great extent and
is directly linked to the mechanical properties of the thin film material. The combined action …

Using finite element modeling (FEM), this work investigates using finite element modeling
(FEM) the mechanical behavior of film on substrate composites during the penetration of a …

Using the perturbation theory, the axisymmetric indentation of a compressible elastic thin
film bonded to a rigid substrate is analyzed for the contact radius much larger than the …

α-Fe (Cr)-h-BN and α-Fe (Cr)-Fe2B-FeB coatings on X30Cr13 stainless steel are
synthesized by laser melting with incorporation of hexagonal boron nitride, or by alloying of …

A model based on the Burgers viscoelastic concept has been developed to describe the
nanoindentation behaviors of polymeric materials. An analytical solution of displacement at …

Elastic-plastic properties of single crystals are supposed to influence the size reduction
process of bulk materials during jet milling. According to Pahl [MH Pahl …

This chapter has illustrated the importance of optimizing the ratio between hardness and
elastic modulus (H/E) when developing coatings for wear resistance applications. It has …

The nanoindentation technique allows the determination of mechanical properties at
nanometric scale. Hardness (H) and elastic modulus (E) profiles are usually determined by …

A single elastic modulus is not sufficient for describing the mechanical behavior of a living
cell due to its viscoelastic nature and heterogeneity beneath the membrane. In this paper …

Amorphous hydrogenated carbon (aC: H) thin films deposited on a silicon substrate under
various mixtures of methane–hydrogen gas by electron cyclotron resonance microwave …
