Abstract: Two new theories have been developed for predicting the bending stiffness of sandwich beams. The first theory applies to the general case of any combination of skin and core while the second, ...

Abstract: All previous analyses of the minimum gauge problem either fail to arrive at a criterion for determination of the minimum gauge or result in predictions which are grossly in error. The basic ...

Abstract: The method of slip-lines has been used historically to solve two-dimensional problems of plane-strain plasticity in homogeneous metals. The application of the theory to obtain solutions for ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the determination of the lateral distribution of pressure in thin strip rolling. A simplified three-dimensional analysis of elastic deformation of the rolls is developed ...

Abstract: A computer adaptation of Southwell’s Relaxation Method was developed for the solution of elastic-perfectly plastic stress distribution problems. This method was employed to study some aspects of ...

Abstract: The paper describes measurements of lateral flow of material which took place during cold rolling thin strip. This sideways flow is shown to have a considerable influence of the final flatness ...
