Exploiting the exceptional mechanical properties of nanostructured carbon for improving wear and erosion resistance of various surfaces is the main objective of the research presented …
In polycrystalline materials where transgranular cleavage is the preferred fracture mode, the crystallographic misorientation of fracture planes across grain boundaries can provide resistance to crack …
In order to understand the stress behaviors in thin films, three related topics were investigated. First, intrinsic stress generation mechanisms were studied by in-situ stress …
