Nanoindentation behavior of a two-dimensional carbon-carbon composite for nuclear applications Export

@article{citeulike:3958243, abstract = {Nanoindentation tests on a carbon fiber and carbon matrix composite (C/C composite) for nuclear applications were carried out over a load range from 50 μN to 20 mN on two different crosssections, normal and parallel to the fiber axis.
