      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2020)
      Knowledge of mechanical properties of thin films is essential for most of their applications. However, their determination can be problematic for very thin films. LAW (Laser-induced acoustic waves) is a combined acousto-optic ...
    • WHY MONITOR ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS DURING NANOMECHANICAL TESTS? 

      Autor: Čtvrtlík, Radim; Václavek, Lukáš; Tomáštík, Jan
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2020)
      Acoustic Emissions (AE) monitoring has been proved as an effective non-destructive technique at the macro scale. Nevertheless, it may also be employed at nano/micro scale during nanomechanical and nanotribological testing. ...
