Abstract: Methods of solving an integral equation that represents the elastic contact of a strip pressed between two identical cylinders are discussed. Fourier cosine transformation is used to derive the ...

Abstract: The problem of transient scattering of a plane step dilatational wave by a spherical cavity in an elastic medium is solved by a Laplace-transform-series-solution technique. The solution is ...

Abstract: Ring compression tests were conducted at constant true strain rates in the temperature range of 900–975°C. The constant friction shear factor, m, was determined using a calibration chart. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the problem formulation and design of compliant grip-and-move manipulators. Each manipulator is composed of two identical path generating compliant mechanisms such that it can ...

Abstract: This paper, the first of two companion papers, reports empirical data on wear properties in carbon nitride coatings by a spherical diamond counter-face in repeated sliding contacts through in ...

Abstract: This is the second part of two companion papers, the first of which reported the empirical data on wear properties in carbon nitride coatings by a spherical diamond counter-face in repeated ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the design of compliant grip-and-move manipulators by structural optimization using genetic algorithms. The manipulator is composed of two compliant mechanisms (each with ...

Abstract: The effect of constitutive modelling of material behavior on the predictive abilities of two models of flat rolling is studied. Comparison of calculated roll forces and powers to those measured ...

Abstract: A Nb-V steel’s response to constant true strain rate compression was compared to its behavior when the strain rate varied as during a rolling pass. The constitutive behavior during the two ...
