Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Nearly 150 papers cover surface engineering/coatings; modeling, analyzing, and simulating manufacturing processes; materials forming/machining/joining; mechanical behavior and fracture; and tooling testing and evaluating materials. Among the topics are predicting fatigue for the pump end of a high pressure fracturing pump, improving die-roll quality in the compound fine-blanking forming process, characteristics of electrode displacement and force in resistant spot welding, the effect of emission points on the accuracy of the ultrasonic testing of log internal decay, and methods for assessing the readiness of aviation material.
