Abstract: This series of three papers presents an experimental and numerical analysis of friction in a thin-film rigid disk with a circumferential surface texture, under various humidities. In Part II, ...

Abstract: The slip band formed in a grain on the material surface is a preferential site for crack initiation during low strain fatigue of polycrystalline metals. The forward and reverse plastic flow ...

Abstract: A consistent method is proposed to predict significant properties concerning the notch fatigue threshold from three experimental data: the fatigue limit of smooth specimens, the threshold stress ...

Abstract: Using the FEM program, the effects of geometry, residual stress and the elasticplastic behavior of material on the collapse strength of a tube is analyzed and the following results are obtained. ...

Abstract: This series of three papers presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the friction between a head slider and a thin-film rigid disk with circumferential surface texture, under various ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the performance of air-lubricated bearing spindles for high-speed laser scanners using newly developed bearings. Experimental results confirmed that these spindles have adequate ...

Abstract: A process has been developed to detoxify the waste magnesia-chromia bricks containing sexivalent chromium and recover valuable materials with arc plasma treatment. Especially magnesium and chromium, ...

Abstract: The natural frequencies of out-of-plane vibration based on the Timoshenko beam theory are calculated numerically for uniform arcs of circular cross section under all combination of boundary ...
