Abstract: Design is done in many fields. Although the design practices in different fields appear to be distinct from each other, all fields use a common thought process and design principles. Consequently, ...

Abstract: Many metal processing techniques are dictated by equilibrium thermodynamics and the kinetics of phase transformation. Consequently, an alloy of a specific chemical composition must be processed ...

Abstract: The concept of using tangentially loaded helical coils as impact load dispersers was examined experimentally and theoretically in order to evaluate its effectiveness in minimizing the amplitude ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of hard incoherent dispersoids on the sliding wear rate of dispersion-hardened alloys, internally oxidized Cu-Cr and Cu-Si alloys were tested. OFHC copper and ...

Abstract: The primary friction mechanism between boundary-lubricated sliding surfaces was investigated. Experiments were performed on well-polished aluminum, copper, and chromium using mineral oil lubricant. ...

Abstract: The effects of ion implantation on the friction and wear behavior of metals were investigated. Experiments were conducted with iron, titanium, and copper implanted with nitrogen ions, iron ...

Abstract: For the field of manufacturing to become a science, it is necessary to develop general mathematical descriptions for the analysis and synthesis of manufacturing systems. Standard analytic models, ...

Abstract: Lubricated and dry experiments on titanium and steel surfaces with and without TiN sputtered coatings of various thicknesses have been conducted. The significance of the layer thickness, interfacial ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the fluid flows generated in the annular space between a rotating V-grooved cylinder and a hollow cylindrical shell is presented. The numerical procedures used to obtain ...
