The Channel Angular Extrusion (CAE) technique is a process, in which a deformable solid material is led to yielding through the intersection of inclined channels. Compared to classic plastic deformation, the process is technically simple but the material experiences, instantly, large plastic deformation. The deformation occurs locally and high internal stresses develop during the process. In mo...

the chadegan metamorphic complex is a wnw-ese- trending antiformal structure located in sanandaj-sirjan structural zone, iran.the inner core of the structure is made of orthogneiss, containing eclogitic lenses. schists and marbles lie structurally above theorthogneiss and crop out in the external limbs of the antiformal dome. two main deformational episodes have been documented in theschists an...

[1] Faulting and brittle deformation of mantle rocks occurs in many tectonic settings such as oceanic transform faults, oceanic detachment faults, subduction zones, and continental rifts. However, few data exist that directly explore the frictional properties of peridotite rocks. Improved constraints on the brittle deformation of peridotite is important for a more complete understanding of the ...

Evaluation of the excavation-induced ground movements is an important design aspect of supporting system in urban areas. This evaluation process is more critical to the old buildings or sensitive structures which exist in the excavation-affected zone. Frame distortion and crack generation are predictor, of building damage resulted from excavation-induced ground movements, which pose challenges ...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a promising tool that yields data useful for understanding the fine-scale density structure of partly lithified and tectonically deformed sediments. We conducted 21 CT scans of ODP Leg 131 sediments, including whole-round cores and thin-section chips, obtained from the toe of the Nankai accretionary prism. The samples range from highly deformed pieces from the ...

A new machining process model that explicitly includes the effects of the edge hone is presented. A force balance is conducted on the lower boundary of the deformation zone leading to a machining force model. The machining force components are an explicit function of the edge radius and shear angle. An increase in edge radius leads to not only increased ploughing forces but also an increase in ...

Bending is one of the most common metal forming technology and it can be applied not only in sheet metal forming but also in forming of wires, rods, strips, pipes and bars. However, in car production, ship building and home appliance manufacturing sheet metal bending is most widely employed. One of the most significant sheet metal bending operations is V – Die bending. This process consists of ...

Knowledge on the deformation mechanisms of Mg2SiO4 ringwoodite is important for the understanding of flow and seismic anisotropy in the Earth’s mantle transition zone. We report here the first numerical modelling of dislocation structures in ringwoodite. The dislocation properties are calculated through the Peierls-Nabarro model using the generalized stacking fault (GSF) results as a starting m...

This paper presents a methodology to determine simultaneously (a) the flow stress at high deformation rates and temperatures that are encountered in the cutting zone, and (b) the friction at the chip–tool interface. This information is necessary to simulate high-speed machining using FEM based programs. A flow stress model based on process dependent parameters such as strain, strain-rate and te...

This paper studies the elastic contact in filaments induced by surface adhesion, which plays an important role in the mechanical response of fibrous materials (e.g., fiber friction, sliding, compression hysteresis, etc.). During the process, a simple 3D elastic contact model was proposed. The filaments were assumed to be uniform, smooth elastic cylinders, and the adhesive force between filament...
