Abstract: The concept of a cutting rate-tool life (R-T) characteristic curve is extended to the general machining economics problem (MEP) with a quadratic-logarithmic tool life and constraint equations. ...

Abstract: Based on the concept in Part 1, Theory and General Case, algorithms to determine the constrained R-T characteristic curve are established for convex constrained machining economics problems. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical and experimental investigation on the steady-state responses of an RSRC-type spatial flexible linkage. The kinematic analysis of the spatial rigid-body motion is ...

Abstract: The occurrence of PWR steam generator tube cracking, denting, and wastage has been reported in the recent literature [1–5]. As indicated by its title, this paper concerns itself with the ...

Abstract: A finite element model to simulate the elastic and slip responses of fusion magnets under operating loads is proposed. To represent the elastic actions, a material homogenization procedure based ...

Abstract: Concrete constitutive relations which can simulate the overall material behavior up to and including its ultimate state under general triaxial loading conditions have been developed. The proposed ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of CFD analysis to cool the 30-W socketed CPU of a desktop computer with minimum air flow rate and minimum heat sink size. This was achieved using only the ...

Abstract: The moiré method is combined with hologram interferometry to obtain the three displacements of an arbitrarily deformed plane in the three-dimensional space. Double beam interference patterns are ...

Abstract: Measurements and computations are presented of mean velocity and turbulence intensity for an arrangement of two pairs of turbulence promoters mounted in tandem in developing channel flow. The ...
