Abstract: Mechanics and dynamics of cutting with helical ball end mills are presented. The helical ball end mill attached to the spindle is modelled by orthogonal structural modes in the feed and normal ...

Abstract: Bending of simply supported circular plates of constant radial bending stress subjected to uniformly distributed loading is investigated by solving a nonlinear integrodifferential equation. Boundary ...

Abstract: The reflection of a stress pulse at the junction of two elastic rods which are not collinear, results, in general, in the generation of four separate pulses. A longitudinal pulse and a ...

Abstract: Based on the analytical solution of the equation of motion for a single degree-of-freedom model of a spring, the relation between the dynamic behavior and the kinematic features of input cam ...

Abstract: The radius of curvature of a cam profile is an important factor that affects the working life of cam mechanisms. Based on flexible motion curves using parametric polynomials developed earlier, ...

Abstract: A warm (315°C) wind tunnel test facility equipped with a linear cascade of film cooled vane airfoils was used in the simultaneous determination of the local gas side heat transfer ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the effects of mechanical shock on Radio Frequency (RF) connectors is presented. The finite element method is used to analyze the mechanical shock responses of RF connectors. ...

Abstract: The results of this study demonstrate the viability of a low cost maskless process for the fabrication of ultra-fine pitch solder bumps. The fabricated solder bump arrays have a pitch and ...

Abstract: Results are presented on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and Mode I fracture toughness (GIC ) of glass/epoxy laminates interleaved with thermoplastic polyester films using four-point bending ...
