In this work, a two-dimensional finite element model of orthogonal machining ofAISI 1045 steel is developed using the commercial non-linear finite element packageABAQUS. [...]

ABSTRACTAJITH RAMESH: Modeling the creep behavior of torsional springs This dissertation presents a detailed model of the `overall' behavior of Torsional springs. Torsion[...]

Vortex machining is a unique localized material removal process in which footprints of several nanometer in depth are obtained. It employs a resonating quartz tuning fo[...]

The use of biomaterials as drug delivery systems (DDS) eliminates the adverse side effects of systemic drug administration. Silica-based bioceramics have been widely stud[...]

This dissertation presents applications of the finite element method in studying the durability of components used in aerospace (composites) and medical (hip implants) in[...]
