Abstract: Crack arresting capability is experimentally examined using center cracked tension specimens and varying the placement of the dimple ahead of the crack tip. It is confirmed that the dimple gives ...

Abstract: The coalescence conditions of plastic zones are calculated for an edge crack and an internal crack in a semi-infinite sheet. The cracks and their plastic zones are treated as a fictitious ...

Abstract: In this paper a force-control model is developed for edge deburring with filamentary brushes. The model is based upon experimentally obtained “master curves,” that is, material removal data that ...

Abstract: This paper describes vibration control of a suspended system using a wave absorbing method. Here, we treat a system that accepts a traveling command. This system is called a traveling system. ...

Abstract: Helmholtz resonators are used in a variety of applications to reduce the transmission of unwanted sound. This work demonstrates that mechanically coupled resonators can be used to design a ...
