Abstract: The use of finite element calculations is assessed as a means of analysis of the strain relaxation data from a measurement of residual stress by a material removal method. This application ...

Abstract: The Incremental Strain, Average Stress, Power Series, and Integral methods are examined as procedures for determining non-uniform residual stress fields using strain relaxation data from the hole ...

Abstract: The Integral Method for calculating non-uniform residual stress fields using strain relaxation data from the incremental hole-drilling method is examined in detail. Finite element calculations are ...

Abstract: Uniaxial tension and compression stress-strain curves are simultaneously evaluated from load and surface strain data measured during a bending test. The required calculations for the uniaxial ...

Abstract: A polynomial expression for the Mohr-Coulomb criterion for failure of brittle or frictional materials in terms of stress invariants is derived. The form of the polynomial expression corresponds ...

Abstract: The incremental hole-drilling method for measuring non-uniform residual stresses gives stress results that are very sensitive to errors in the measured data. The resulting stress errors can easily ...

Abstract: Circular saw transverse vibration and product dimensional accuracy were measured during a series of production experiments in which sawblade vibration was controlled by the deliberate introduction ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic sector bearings, which were arbitrarily oriented and tilted over a plane surface rotatng at constant angular velocity, were theoretically and experimentally investigated for thrust, ...

Abstract: This study illustrates how the highly nonlinear elastic behavior of artery wall material can cause unusual structural characteristics that do not occur with a linear-elastic material. An example ...
