Nanoindentation and Strain Characteristics of Nanostructured Boride/Nitride Films

The hardness, elastic modulus, and elastic recovery of nanostructured boride/nitride films 1–2 µm thick have been investigated by the nanoindentation technique under the maximum loads over a wide range (from 5 to 100 mN). It is demonstrated that only the hardness parameters remain constant at small loads (5–30 mN). The data obtained are discussed and compared with the parameters determined by other methods

Influence of Irregularities of Water Vapor Field in Surface Layer of the Atmosphere on the Results of Satellite Monitoring of Hydropower Structures in Region of Reservoirs

© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Results are presented for the modeling of coordinate errors in the projected GNSS system of monitoring the Zagorsk GAES-2 that are caused by local atmospheric irregularities in the surface layer. It has been established that for mean meteorological conditions, these errors can reach 0.8 mm for elevation and 0.1 mm for horizontal position. It is noted that actual instantaneous irregularities exceed mean values by an order of magnitude and can thus cause larger errors in coordinates
