Abstract: A spindle integrated cutting force system where piezoelectric force sensors are embedded in the spindle housing is studied. The transfer function between the force experienced at the end mill ...

Abstract: This paper presents a dynamically compensated Spindle Integrated Force Sensor (SIFS) system to measure cutting forces. Piezo-electric force sensors are integrated into the stationary spindle housing. ...

Abstract: In the context of kinematic models, a general procedure for the bending crush analysis of thin-walled members is proposed and applied to the trapezoidal and rectangular tubes in bending. The ...

Abstract: Continuous multispan beams with stepped cross sections at the interior supports are common in construction of steel buildings and bridges. Design equations for lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) resistance in the American ...

Abstract: Continuous span multibeam steel bridges are common along the state and interstate highways. The top flange of the beams is typically braced against lateral movement by the deck slab, and in many bridges the cross section ...

Abstract: Abrasive waterjet peening (AWJP) has been conceived as a new surface treatment process capable of achieving desired changes in surface texture, chemistry, and residual stress simultaneously. In ...

Abstract: Microend milling offers the ability to machine microparts of complex geometry relatively quickly when compared with photolithographic techniques. The key to good surface quality is the minimization ...

Abstract: Repeated rib roughness elements have been used in advanced turbine cooling designs to enhance the internal heat transfer. Often the ribs are perpendicular to the main flow direction so that ...

Abstract: Transformation kinetics, corrected for abiotic loss and for volatilization, of 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds were studied in two nonacclimated soils. Mean volatilization losses for naphthalene and ...

Abstract: A comprehensive review of pipe replacement analyses is presented, from which an economically sustainable threshold break rate for replacement of pipelines in deteriorating water distribution systems is derived that yields ...
