CHIPS CONTRACTION COEFFICIENT C D
by
MARIUS MILEA and MIRCEA COZMÎNCĂ
Abstract. The assessment of plastic deformation of chips can
be done based on theoretical and experimental considerations. This
paper presents the two ways of assessing the chips contraction
coefficient, namely the theoretical and experimental methods. The
results obtained from both methods will be used to develop a
mathematical model for chips contraction coefficient.
Key words: chips contraction coefficient, theoretical methods,
experimental methods.
