Abstract: Drilling is a complex three dimensional cutting process yet it is possible to simulate the action of a two flute twist drill with two dimensional models provided consideration is given to the ...

Abstract: The equations governing the propagation of infinitesimal incremental loading stress waves in a medium prestressed uniaxially into the plastic region are derived for a strain-rate-independent and ...

Abstract: The performance of conventional (helical disk) ground anchors is important to the overall quality and safety of manufactured home installations and other applications requiring anchorage to ground. This paper presents ...
