SIO presents: FilmDoctor Viewer Tutorial
The little software tool “FilmDoctor® Viewer”, developed by the Saxonian Institute of Surface Mechanics, is a special adaptation of the much more extensive FilmDoctor® software package used to describe any kind of mechanical multilayer contact situations. Thereby, FilmDoctor® Viewer is designed to show the most important features such as 2D and 3D single contact and animations by using a set of specific preadjusted examples. Here: “Scratch on hard coating” (e.g. cutting tools).
Calotte Indentation Method by SIO – a short tutorial
The Calo Indent Method developed by the Saxonian Institute of Surface Mechanics, SIO, is an evaluation method for true surface propierties. It combines calotte grinding and indentation tests in order to determine true relaistic profiles of material properties. Thus, it provides a very effective and cheap way to extract generic material parameters of multi-layered materials.
