Nanomechanics for Coatings and Engineering Surfaces: Test Methods, Development Strategies, Modeling Approaches, and Applications provides readers with an array of best practices for nanoindentation measurements as well as related small-scale test methods and how to translate test results into the development of improved coatings. A core theme of the book is explaining to readers exactly how, when, and why the nanomechanical properties of engineered surfaces relate to their wear resistance.The book starts with chapters that introduce the development and importance of nanomechanical testing and linkages between wear resistance and the mechanical properties of coatings before moving into discussions of various experimental methods and techniques, such as nanoindentation, continuous stiffness measurements, nano-scratch methods, high-temperature testing, nano-impact testing, and more. Other sections discuss modeling approaches such as finite element analysis, atomistic and molecular dynamics, and analytical methods. Design strategies and industrial applications are covered next, with a final section looking at trends and future directions.

This book provides practical guidance and strategies for successfully completing a Ph.D. program. It covers a wide range of topics essential for Ph.D. students, including managing relationships with supervisors, mastering research and writing techniques, getting published, presenting at conferences, building credibility, and developing personal productivity habits. The book offers a holistic approach to the Ph.D. journey by combining actionable tips across various aspects of the doctoral process. This book was written with Ph.D. students in STEM fields in mind. However, most of the topics discussed apply to Ph.D. students across all scientific disciplines. Unlike traditional guides that may focus solely on academic writing or research methods, this book integrates advice on personal development, effective communication, and professional networking. It emphasizes the importance of both academic skills and personal growth, providing a well-rounded toolkit for Ph.D. success. The book offers a comprehensive, practical guide that helps Ph.D. students navigate the complexities of their program with confidence and efficiency. A list of pain-points received from Ph.D. students and postdocs referring back to their Ph.D. time is included. Each section responds to one of those points in a concise form and is concluded with actionable takeaway points. By following the 60 sections, readers can enhance their productivity, improve their research and writing skills, effectively manage their academic relationships, and ultimately achieve their doctoral degree with greater ease and success.
