Abstract: In 1971, Lin showed a physical theory of plasticity which seems to represent the actual mechanism of plasticity better than other theories. Since then, much work has been done to improve this ...

Abstract: A part of the work done on a plastically deformed metal reappears in the form of heat and the remaining part remains latent in the metal, known as latent energy. Part of this latent energy ...

Abstract: Fatigue bands have been observed in both monocrystalline and polycrystalline metals. Extrusions and intrusions at the free surface of fatigued specimens are favorable sites for fatigue crack ...

Abstract: The influence of flow rotation on droplet combustion and evaporation are experimentally studied by using a burning liquid-pool system, and numerically investigated by considering a nonreactive, ...

Abstract: Uniform plastic slip is assumed to occur in a cubic region embedded at the free surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid. The slip plane and slip direction are both inclined at 45 deg to ...

Abstract: Lin’s ratchet mechanism developed by Lin and his associates for fatigue crack initiation under tension and compression loading is here applied to fatigue under torsional loadings. Under the ...

Abstract: In an aggregate under moderate loads, plastic deformation is considered to occur in favorably oriented crystals on single active slip systems. The residual stresses, due to the slip strains, ...
