Abstract: A simple method of computing the planar elastic buckling loads, natural frequencies, and corresponding mode shapes for arches and tied arches has been developed. The proposed method is applicable to arches and tied arches ...

Abstract: “Disproportionate collapse” is structural collapse disproportionate to the cause; it is often, though not always, progressive, where “progressive collapse” is the collapse of all or a large part of a structure precipitated ...

Abstract: When machining miniaturized components, the contact conditions between the tool and the workpiece exhibit very small contact areas that are on the order of 10−5 mm2. Under these conditions, ...

Abstract: Machining induces severe plastic deformation (SPD) in the chip and on the surface to stimulate dramatic microstructural transformations which can often result in a manufactured component with a ...
