Explores machinability, tool wear mechanisms, tool selection based on material properties, and the use of coated tools and advanced materials in cutting technology.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Explores the response and design of inelastic SDOF systems under seismic forces, including force capacity, displacement ductility, and shear strength estimation.
