Abstract: This paper analyzes the cavitation and mushrooming phenomena occurring in a metal target during the high-speed penetration by a deforming rod. It is motivated by the fact that two mechanisms ...

Abstract: The salient features of a simple, wear-tolerant cemented carbide tool are described. Results are presented for high-speed machining (3 to 5 times the conventional speeds) of titanium alloys in ...

Abstract: Overlap tubular K-joints are generally regarded as having higher axial strength than similar simple gap K-joints due to their more direct load transfer between braces. Due to congestion at the nodes in steel jackets, overlap ...

Abstract: One promising means of increasing the capacity of existing shear-deficient beams is to strengthen the structure using external prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. In this system, layers of CFRP tape ...

Abstract: RC beams strengthened with transverse prestressed unbonded carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps have shown substantial increases in shear capacity when subjected to short-term static loading. However, understanding ...

Abstract: An improved calculation of the supersonic panel flutter characteristics of a thin cylindrical shell of finite length is presented. The aerodynamic load is determined with account taken of ...

Abstract: Room temperature, displacement-controlled tensile test and displacement-controlled tension/compression fatigue tests were performed on as-cast specimens of eutectic Pb-Sn solder with lamellar microstructure. ...

Abstract: Results of a four-year Advanced Machining Research Program (AMRP) to provide a science base for faster metal removal through high-speed machining (HSM), high-throughput machining (HTM) and ...

Abstract: Sheet metal is often stored in large wound coils and processed through such manufacturing stages as cleaning, coating, and slitting in a finishing plant or thickness reduction in a rolling ...
