A material point method simulation of orthogonal cutting that can simulate cutting into steady-state chip curling is described. The modeling used ductile fracture mechanics using cohesive zone in the cutting path. Robust simulations required a new mechanism to damp kinetic energy artifacts associated with dynamic crack propagation. The simulations displayed...

Sphagnum fens on the coast of Oregon are unique globally and contain a variety of rare plants and animals found nowhere else in the landscape. Evidence indicates that in the absence of disturbance, many open fens have converted to tall shrub and forest stands...
A new pulse method for measuring differential double layer
capacitances has been developed in this work. The technique is based
on the determination of the cell time constant which, for an ideally
polarized test electrode-solution interface, is composed of the double
layer capacitance and solution resistance. By applying small step...
The Philpott site (35CS1) is located on the north bank of the
Coquille River near Bandon, Oregon. Test excavations at the site were
conducted in 1978 by Oregon State University under the direction of
Richard E. Ross.
One artifact assemblage and one distinct component were defined
during the analysis of...
Finite element analysis was used to study the effective transverse modulus of solid wood for all possible end-grain patterns. The calculations accounted for cylindrical anisotropy of wood within rectangular specimens and explicitly modeled wood as a composite of earlywood and latewood. The effective modulus was significantly reduced by growth ring...
Illinois coal ground to 80-200 mesh was leached
with a low phosphate, high nitrogen medium containing a
mixture of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and thiooxidans in a
fluidized bed. Coal slurries of 20-160 g/L were treated
in a 5 cm ID, 9.5 m high continuous loop bioreactor with
crossovers at top and...
