This paper aims to evaluate various measurement methods for characterizing the elastic behavior of thermally sprayed composites. The behavior of layered composite materials is determined by the interplay of residual stresses, load stresses, and bonding strength. Measuring Young's modulus in such coatings can be difficult, however, due to brittleness and inhomogeneities in microstructure. In this work, the authors determine both the influence of the indentation load on Young's modulus and that of the analysis method. Paper includes a German-language abstract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
