Abstract: A new analysis is presented in which the variable flow stress property of the work material is taken into account. It is shown that changes in the so-called angle of tool-chip interface ...

Abstract: An analysis of the cutting process is presented which in conjunction with experimental cutting data enables the initial shear yield stress and the mean slope of the corresponding plastic ...

Abstract: Experiments show that the cold working of low carbon steel work materials can improve their machinability by reducing cutting forces and improving surface finish and tool life. The somewhat ...

Abstract: It is shown how the characteristic deformation observed in wearing surfaces can be explained in terms of the wave model of asperity deformation. Possible explanations of the damage sustained ...

Abstract: In Merchant’s modified shear angle solution, it is assumed following Bridgman that the shear strength of the work material is a function of the hydrostatic stress. Although Merchant’s experimental ...

Abstract: The frictional force when a hard surface slides over a relatively soft one is explained as the force needed to push waves of plastically deformed material along the soft surface ahead of ...
