Abstract: Commercial electrical conductor wires are currently produced from aluminum alloys by multi-step deformation processing involving rolling and drawing. These processes typically require 10 to 20 steps of deformation, since ...

Abstract: Shear-based deformation processing by hybrid cutting-extrusion and free machining are used to make continuous strip, of thickness up to 1 mm, from low-workability AA6013-T6 in a single deformation step. The intense shear ...

Abstract: The deformation field, material flow, and mechanics of chip separation in cutting of metals with superimposed lowfrequency modulation (<1000 Hz) are characterized at the mesoscale using highspeed imaging and particle ...

Abstract: Widespread application of lightweight magnesium and titanium alloys sheet is limited mainly because of their poorworkability issues, both in primary processing by rolling and secondary sheet forming. This study describes ...

Abstract: The mechanics of large-strain deformation in cutting of metals is discussed, primarily from viewpoint of recent developments in in situ analysis of plastic flow and microstructure characterization. It is shown that a broad ...

Abstract: A novel, handheld Reference Point Indentation (RPI) instrument, measures how well the bone of living patients and large animals resists indentation. The results presented here are reported in terms of Bone Material Strength, ...
