Hardness is a powerful property to evaluate the deformation behavior of materials. It serves
as confident quality control for several processes, especially in the heat treatment of metals …

In this feature article, dynamic indentation‐induced deformation and fracture phenomena in
brittle solids are related to the deformation behavior and fracture patterns evolved during …

The flattening ratio, ε, is an important diagnostic measurement of particle deformability and
coating quality assessment in cold spray. However, the experimental determination of ε and …

Understanding the characteristics of material contact and lubrication at tribological interfaces
is of great importance to engineering researchers and machine designers. Traditionally …

Hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength, work hardening exponent, and residual stress
within shot-peened layer of nickel-based single crystal superalloy DD6 were experimentally …

Additively manufactured (AM) metal parts are usually post processed by mechanical surface
finishing to attain desired surface roughness. Simulation of AM chain provides means to …

The influence of Si addition on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of cast silicon
stainless steel alloys was investigated. It was recognized that after incorporation of Si in the …

Scratch tests are of fundamental interest both for understanding machining‐induced
damage and for evaluating the scratch resistance of brittle materials. An improved blister …

The stress-strain behavior of ferrite and austenite in a commercial 2205 duplex stainless
steel was investigated by using nanoindentation test and microstructure-based finite …

The influence of the process parameters of laser shock peening was investigated on
specimens made of an aeronautic titanium alloy: Ti–5Al–2Sn–2Zr–4Cr–4Mo (Ti-17). In order …
