Composite lead-free solders, containing micro and nano particles, have been widely
studied. Due to grain boundary drag or Zener drag, these particles can refrain the solder …

This paper presents a review devoted to the specific mechanical behavior of thin near-
surface layers of various solids, materials, films, and multilayer coatings under local loading …

Обзор посвящен специфическому механическому поведению тонких приповерхностных
слоев различных твердых тел и материалов, пленок и многослойных покрытий при …

Time-dependent plastic deformation, also known as creep, can occur in high-melting-point
materials at room temperature when subjected to submicron plastic contact (eg, components …

The effects of antimony (Sb) addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of
rapidly solidified eutectic Al–Si alloy were investigated. Al–12wt.% Si–Xwt.% Sb (X= 0, 0.5 …

Constant load measurements by nanoindentation offer the potential for measuring strain rate
sensitivity from individual features and defects on a submicron scale. However, recent …

Ni-based superalloys and thin films have drawn the attention of researchers because of their
extraordinary properties. In particular, Nickel Aluminides like Ni 3 Al thin films show excellent …

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) pure magnesium and AZ31 alloy were prepared by sliding friction
treatment (SFT). Nanoindentation tests of UFG Mg and AZ31 alloy were performed under a …

This investigation presents nanoindentation and microindentation creep analyses on
polymer derived Si–C–O ceramic coatings at temperatures ranging from room temperature …

In the present work, we study the indentation behaviour of the magnetite coexisting with
hematite in a natural dual-phase crystal. In particular we show the influence of cycling …
