Abstract: The dynamics of chip formation during high-speed orthogonal machining (planing) is examined. Merchant’s vector diagram of the forces acting upon the continuous chip free body is expanded to ...

Abstract: Dynamic plastic behavior of materials is influenced by internally generated temperature gradients. These gradients are a function of thermophysical properties as well as strain rate and shear ...

Abstract: Analytical equations of the types required to define ballistic perforation dynamics are developed. These equations concern both blunt and sharp-nosed fragments, perforating plates normally and at ...
