Abstract: Friction and wear experiments on brasses with and without lead particles are presented and compared. Quantitative results are given for the dimensions of the wear tracks and of the subsurface ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations of the friction and wear of four copper alloys and pure nickel are presented. Measurements of the shape and dimensions of the wear tracks and of the extent of ...

Abstract: It is shown that a familiar procedure for obtaining stress intensity factors for a plate containing a through crack may be inverted. That is, stress intensity factor measurements may be used ...

Abstract: The strains on the surface near a loaded crack or cut are compared for cuts of different width to depth ratios. General solutions are obtained for an arbitrary distribution of normal and ...

Abstract: By pulling the chip at various angles during metal cutting, it has been possible to greatly decrease the shear strains and thus to obtain a wide range of shear strains with a single tool. ...

Abstract: A survey is presented of recent theories of the wear which occurs when dissimilar unlubricated metals slide on one another. Such sliding wear is not only of practical importance, but is also ...
