Abstract: Hard turning involves the mechanical deformation of materials, coupled with the heat generation from friction and dissipation of deformation energy. The mechanical and thermal effects on microstructure ...

Abstract: Dr. Moshe M. Barash passed away on June 16, 2006, after a very distinguished career in teaching and research in manufacturing.

Abstract: Fatigue life of nominally identical structures under nominally identical loading conditions can scatter widely. This study has investigated the impact of machining processes on such scatters. After ...

Abstract: The need for predicting material microstructure and hardness in hard turned surfaces becomes very urgent in that hard turning is adopted by industries as a finishing process, and the produced ...

Abstract: A material softening model based on thermal activation energy has been successfully established through tempering experiments in the first part of this study. To apply the model to predicting ...

Abstract: In literature, four models incorporating strain rate and temperature effects are able to generalize material test results of HY-100 steel. This study compares the four models, namely, Litonski-Batra, ...

Abstract: Since recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of hard turning over other abrasive machining processes as a finishing process in terms of surface integrity, a strong need has existed to ...

Abstract: Quasistatic errors are the major contributors to positioning inaccuracies of machine tools. These errors, estimated to account for 70 percent of the errors of the machine, have been observed ...

Abstract: It is well known that there is a large variance associated with fatigue life. However, in literature little is found on the relationship between manufacturing processes and fatigue variance of ...

Abstract: It is well known that there is a large variance of fatigue life associated with the data of fatigue tests under nominally identical conditions. Understanding and controlling this variance are ...
