Abstract: In the following paper, a general analysis of the mechanics involved in the straightening process of bars and sections by reverse kinematic loading has been made.

Abstract: An analysis is made of the straightening process of rolled circular bars and tubes, with initial residual curvature in different types of cross-roll straighteners indicating the degree of ...

Abstract: Kinks or loops are formed in cables, subjected initially to torque and tension, in underwater and other applications due to a critical combination of torque and tension, resulting from sudden ...
