Abstract: A method is presented whereby known solutions to the torsion problem may be combined to form new solutions provided that the bar cross section can be broken down into sections for which the ...

Abstract: The role of hydrostatic stress on the plastic deformation of asperities is examined in the context of the adhesion theory of friction. A lower bound analysis gives the frictional shear strength ...

Abstract: Designers of advanced gun systems have been tasked with increasing barrel life in the face of the extreme erosion and wear of the interior ballistics environment. The addition of refractory ...
