... laser machining. However, in this instance probabilistic fracture-mechanics was used to quantify the influence of the induced compressive-stresses on the time and nature of the fracture. Experiments were also conducted to test the feasibility of the active-stressing approach. The effect of important...

However, in this instance probabilistic fracture mechanics was used to quantify the influence of the induced compressive stresses on the time and nature of the fracture. The effect of important parameters...

... with a fracture mechanics analysis combined with a population balance model. The approach provides both the mean and the statistical distribution of particle sizes produced by ball grinding. It also yields an estimate for the amount of time necessary to achieve a desired particle size. The model examines...
