A correlation of structural changes with nanomechanical properties in TiN-AlN multilayer films

Nidhin George Mathews, Aidan A. Taylor, Johannes Zechner +5

The present work investigates the changes in overall nanomechanical properties of reactively sputtered TiN-AlN multilayer films arising due to phase transformation in the AlN layer…

Microscale bending plasticity and fracture behavior of amorphous aluminum oxide films

Nidhin George Mathews, Erkka J. Frankberg, Vivek Devulapalli +12

Recent work has demonstrated microscale compressive plasticity in pulse laser deposited (PLD) amorphous alumina (a-Al2O3). This work explores microscale bending plasticity and frac…

Filling a gap in materials mechanics: Nanoindentation at high constant strain rates upto

Lalith Kumar Bhaskar, Dipali Sonawane, Hendrik Holz +12

A central focus in high strain rate research is understanding the dynamic behavior of materials at strain rates where a strength upturn is observed. While strength upturns at strai…

The effect of elastic-plastic mismatch and interface proximity on the fracture toughness of Ti-TiN thin films

Nidhin George Mathews, Aloshious Lambai, Marcus Hans +3

Magnetron sputtered titanium nitride (TiN) thin films are widely used as protective coatings due to their high hardness, but suffer from inherent brittleness and low fracture tough…

Deformation and adiabatic heating of single crystalline and nanocrystalline Ni micropillars at high strain rates

Nidhin George Mathews, Matti Lindroos, Johann Michler +1

The deformation behavior of single crystal and nanocrystalline nickel were studied using in situ micropillar compression experiments from quasi-static to high strain rates up to 10…
