Automatic generation method of 3D process models for shaft parts based on volume decomposition
Three-dimensional (3D) process models are serial intermediate models formed by each process operation during the process of machining a blank into a finished part. They are the process information carriers und...

A Virtual-Strain-Energy-Density-Based Critical-Plane Criterion to Multiaxial Fatigue Life Prediction
The Smith–Watson–Topper (SWT) fatigue damage parameter has been discussed based on the critical-plane concept. It was found that the fatigue life prediction obtained by the SWT model tended to be unconservativ...

Estimation of the Strength Coefficient and Strain Hardening Exponent from Monotonic Tensile Properties of Steels
In order to derive a method for estimating the strength coefficient and strain hardening exponent of steel, the performance parameters of 86 kinds of steel taken from American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) B...

Prediction of fatigue life under multiaxial loading by using a critical plane-based model
Based on the critical plane concept, a simple model is proposed to estimate fatigue lives of metals subjected to both proportional and non-proportional loadings. In the proposed model, both parameters of shear...

On multiple limit cycles in sliding-mode control systems via a generalized describing function approach
This paper proposes a generalized describing function (DF) approach to analyze a class of frequency-dependent nonlinearities which are hard to deal with by traditional DF approaches. The proposed approach can ...
