Abstract: Rausch's classical formula overestimates the torsional strength of reinforced concrete members to an unacceptable degree. The error is traced to the incorrect determination of the centerline of the circulating shear flow. ...

Abstract: This paper contains an explanation for the variation of the “coefficient of friction” in metal cutting. The chip partly sticks to and partly slides over the tool and only in the latter region ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional finite deformations are analyzed by factoring and multiplying the matrices of the linear transformations representing them. A general linear transformation consists of a pure shear, ...

Abstract: This paper compares the two softened-truss models for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete membrane elements: (1) the

Abstract: A technique is developed for measuring accurately the flank wear by using polished tungsten carbide tool tips. The technique is applied to the study of the variation of machinability in mild ...

Abstract: Research in the fundamental behavior of reinforced concrete has progressed greatly since the 1960s, particularly in the areas of shear and torsion. This large body of knowledge spawned many theories and created many terms ...

Abstract: A superplastic Zn-Al alloy in sheet form is formed into a bulge over a circular hole by pneumatic pressure. The geometry, the stress, the strain, and the strain-rate are determined at various ...

Abstract: The drawability of sheet metal, hitherto based on and restricted to the drawing of round cups, as in the Swift test, is generalized to cover noncircular cups. The way to measure the extent ...
