Abstract: In laminate structures, the interface debonding failures usually result from very complex fracture mechanisms which lead to different strengthening approaches. The bonding strength of two dissimilar ...

Abstract: Metal removal mechanism in electrical discharge machining (EDM) is revealed as shifting secondary discharges inside a cathodic root. Typical for EDM sinking process, the electrode couple of steel ...

Abstract: The bonding strength of deposited metallic thin films or strips on a hard substrate is investigated through micro-strength tests and micro-mechanics analyses. The combination of Ti:W-Au/Cu deposited ...

Abstract: In this study a technique is provided for determining formation pore pressure and flow properties based upon analysis of shut-in drill pipe pressure. Both radial and spherical transient flow ...

Abstract: The paper provides solutions for predicting directional tendencies of slick and single stabilizer bottom-hole assemblies (BHA) in curved boreholes. Solutions are derived in a curvilinear system ...

Abstract: In this paper, interphases in unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites under transverse loading are modeled by an advanced boundary element method based on the elasticity theory. The interphases ...
