Abstract: When two identical penny shaped disks mounted one above the other are upset simultaneously in uniaxial compression, they deform differently if friction on the upper die surface may be covered ...

Abstract: Refractory metal cutting tools exhibit an unusually high probability of edge chipping and gross fracture when suddenly unloaded after cutting a strong material at high speeds and feeds. After ...

Abstract: Crack gages are sensors designed to monitor crack initiation and growth in engineering structures by alteration of electrical conductance. Present gages involve a thick (5 μm) metal foil on an ...
