Just published: "Nanomechanics for Coatings and Engineering Surfaces" - your guide to best practices in nanoindentation measurements and related small-scale test methods. In the book, we demonstrate how to use test results to develop improved coatings, outline modeling approaches and numerical simulations, and show future directions for simulation of complex wear scenarios. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project with Professor Ben Beake, Director of Materials Research at Micro Materials Ltd., and I am grateful to Ben for his invaluable expertise and collaborative spirit that were crucial in bringing this comprehensive work to fruition. The topic is covered in 25 in-depth chapters, bringing together cutting-edge research and expertise from leading experts in nanomechanics, materials science, and surface engineering. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all authors for their unique contributions and exceptional insights: Thomas Chudoba, Steve Bull, Jiaxin Yu, Linmao Qian, Hongtu He, Xiangru Shi, Jian Chen, Marco Sebastiani, Edoardo Rossi, Saqib Rashid, Jan Tomáštík, Adrian Harris, Vlad Vishnyakov, James Gibson, Troy vom Braucke, Norbert Schwarzer, Frank Papa, Julius Schwarzer, Roberto Souza, Newton Fukumasu, Saurav Goel, Pengfei Fan, Adrian Leyland, Allan Matthews, Samuel McMaster, Jose Luis Endrino, German Fox-Rabinovich, David Frazer, Peter Hosemann, John Nicholls, Christine Chalk, Luis Isern Arrom, Diana Berman, Guillaume Kermouche, Gaylord Guillonneau, and Mark Gee. https://lnkd.in/dCVyz7ag #Nanomechanics #MaterialsScience #SurfaceEngineering #CoatingTechnology #Nanoindentation #EngineeringSurfaces
