Abstract: Revelation of the significance of “ploughing” in the metal-cutting process, which occurs because of the finite sharpness of the cutting edge, leads to a better understanding of the mechanics ...

Abstract: A high-strength tool geometry has been developed as a result of research conducted in the Physical Research Department of the Cincinnati Milling Machine Company. This research was carried out ...

Abstract: Introduction of the concept of ploughing into the metal-cutting process lead to the abandoning of the assumption of collinearity of the resultant force on tool face and on the shear plane. ...

Abstract: The paper describes the application of neural networks to the problem of determining truck attributes (such as velocity, axle spacings, and axle loads) purely from strain‐response readings taken from the structure over ...

Abstract: Historically, the lack of interactive preprocessors to describe tedious finite element models has hindered the use of the finite element method for bridge analysis. The work performed in the present study mitigates this ...
