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…

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…
