Abstract: The stability characteristics of a milling system are investigated in this paper. A model is developed that includes the gyroscopic effects of the rotating spindle and on the basis of this ...

Abstract: We propose a method of evolving designs based on the user’s personal preferences. The method works through an interaction between the user and a computer system. The method’s objective is to ...

Abstract: A recently developed constitutive model and a finite element formulation for predicting the thermomechanical response of shape memory alloy hybrid composite (SMAHC) structures are briefly described. ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of a direct fire penetrator projectile equipped with an actively controlled ram air actuation mechanism is investigated through dynamic simulation. The ram air control mechanism ...

Abstract: Moisture poses a significant threat to the reliability of microelectronic assemblies and can be attributed as being the principal cause of many premature package failures. Of particular concern ...

Abstract: A new numerical model for the three-dimensional contact analysis of a layered elastic–perfectly plastic half space with another rough surface is presented. The model is based on a variational ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional transient thermoelastic solution is obtained for Rayleigh-type disturbances propagating on the surface of a half-space. These surface waves are generated by either a buried or ...

Abstract: The growth of initially spherical periodic grain boundary voids in an elastic-nonlinear viscous material is investigated. Large geometry changes are taken into account to correctly capture the ...

Abstract: Followers driven by high-speed, dwell-type, rotating disk cams can exhibit undesirable residual vibrations during dwell. These vibrations have been studied with linear models mostly using results ...

Abstract: The linear theory for spinning projectiles is extended to account for the application of a simple lateral square impulse activated during free flight. Analytical results are shown to produce ...
