Abstract: Techniques have been devised for inducing consistent residual stress distributions into cantilever beams and for measuring their variation through the section. Commercial vibratory stress relief ...

Abstract: The welding of thin-walled thermoplastic parts by ultrasonic vibrations is often seriously impaired by variability in bond strength along the interface of the welded parts. This study shows that ...

Abstract: The analysis of an inclined plane heat source moving along the surface of a semi-infinite solid is presented. Material passing by the heat source is eliminated from the analysis to simulate ...

Abstract: The development of deformation induced anisotropy in wire drawing operations is modeled with a finite element formulation that incorporates a polycrystalline plasticity model to describe the metal ...

Abstract: A novel experiment has been developed to induce inhomogeneous deformations under simple extension boundary conditions. By appropriate prior cold working of stock material and fabrication of test ...

Abstract: In this work, the superplastic material behavior of Ti-6Al-4V has been correlated with the grain size of the a phase. Because this microstructural state variable is directly observable, the ...

Abstract: The papers in this special edition came from lectures delivered at the Fifth International Conference on Materials Processing Defects (MPD-5) held at Cornell University July 18–20, 2007 at Cornell ...

Abstract: A novel experiment has been developed to induce inhomogeneous deformations under simple extension boundary conditions. By appropriate prior cold working of stock material and fabrication of test ...

Abstract: Texture evolution during friction stir welding of stainless steel was investigated using a polycrystal plasticity model together with a three-dimensional, thermomechanically coupled, finite element ...
