Sentence examples for upon hardness from inspiring English sources

Increasing the silane content in the plasma leads to an increase in the sp3 fraction of the films, and yields a further reduction of stress with almost no effect upon hardness.

You are not hard for hardness's sake.

Yang and Vehoff [21] investigated the dependency of hardness upon grain size in nano-indentation experiments.

However, the lactose/cellulose nanocrystals and the lactose/sodium montmorillonite nanocomposites demonstrated high yield pressure compared with the physical mixtures indicating increased particle hardness upon composite formation.

The different dependences of hardness upon indentation depth in this work reveals clearly the local interaction between dislocations and grain boundaries in single grains.

A dependence of coating hardness upon indentation penetration depth (ht) was found to be proportional to 1/√ht, according to a mechanistically based model, from which the shear stress was determined.

Upon reevaluating the hardness of Cu/Al, Cu/W and other bimetallic multilayer systems, we demonstrated that apart from IBs, GBs also contribute to the strengthening process of polycrystalline multilayers.
