Abstract: In this paper, a systematic evaluation of six ductile fracture models is conducted to identify the most suitable fracture criterion for metal cutting processes. Six fracture models are evaluated in this study, including ...

Abstract: This special issue focuses on the established and emerging nontraditional manufacturing technologies with various energy sources (mechanical, thermal, optical, etc.) at microand nanoscales. It consists of several invited ...

Abstract: Due to its light weight, high creep, and wear resistance, magnesium metal matrix composites (MgMMCs) with nanosized reinforcements are promising for various industrial applications, especially those with high volume fractions ...

Abstract: Room temperature (RT) electrical conductivity and microstructure of polymer-derived SiC pyrolyzed at temperatures ranging from 1200 °C to 1800 °C were studied. We have shown that both free carbon content and pyrolysis ...

Abstract: Today’s manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly complex, dynamic, and connected. The factory operations face challenges of highly nonlinear and stochastic activity due to the countless uncertainties and interdependencies ...

Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are among the lightest metallic structural materials, making them very attractive for use in the aerospace and automotive industries. Recently, Mg has been used in metal matrix composites ...
