Abstract: Laser cladding (LC) is a material deposition technique, in which a laser beam is used to deposit one or several layers of a certain clad material onto a substrate to improve its wear or corrosion resistance. It can also ...

Abstract: Fracture in cutting of ductile as well as brittle materials can be characterized using parameters such as K, G, R, and Jintegral; of these, R has been widely used. To accurately evaluate the contribution of fracture energy ...

Abstract: A physician palpates a tissue to detect an embedded tumor nodule by sensing an increase in local tissue stiffness and nodule size. The Hertz contact model, however, is unable to predict the material or physical properties ...

Abstract: Tool breakage is a significant issue in micro milling owing to the less stiffness of the micro tool. To cope up with such limitation, precise predictions of dynamic stability, and cutting force have the utmost importance ...
