Abstract: The major advantage of using selective assembly in manufacturing is that it allows the use of low precision parts to achieve high precision assembly. However, two problems arise: (a) the surplus ...

Abstract: This study is concerned with the treatment of the dynamic antiplane failure behavior of fiber reinforced composites involving matrix cracks and partially-debonded fibers. The matrix/fiber interphase ...

Abstract: Sensor fusion often uses multiple sensors to evaluate a single quantity. The work presented in this paper attempts to use information from a single sensor to estimate overall machining performance ...

Abstract: This article presents an analytical treatment of the dynamic interaction between a crack and an arbitrarily located circular inhomogeneity under antiplane incident wave. The method is based upon ...

Abstract: A great deal of research has been conducted on the effects of small random variations in structural properties, known as mistuning, in single stage bladed disks. Due to the inherent randomness ...

Abstract: The strength and stiffness design of a bridge subject to moving vehicles requires the determination of its dynamic amplification factors (DAFs). This paper presents a simple method for estimating the DAFs of a double-tower ...

Abstract: This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the elastic wave propagation in an elastic medium induced by embedded piezoceramic actuators under dynamic electric loads. A new actuator model ...

Abstract: A slip-line field model is presented for the determination of the chip curl radius when cutting with a grooved restricted contact tool. The calculated values are found to provide a good ...
