Which phenomenological flow stress model is the best?
A couple of years ago a colleague who wanted to simulate high-speed machining asked me: " Which is the best phenomenological flow stress model for metals?" I wasn't able to give an answer right away and decided to look in the literature.
What I found was, every ten years or so, a new model appears in the literature that tries to solve some of the problems of older models. However, a clear ranking of models has not been established yet.

ES 242r personal agenda
I am working on my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Neb. and have enrolled inES 242r because failure modes of many orthopedic implants can be attributed to initial flaws & fractures of material coatings. This course, albeit, focuses on ductile materials, the principles seem relevant.
Lecture 8 Mixed mode fracture
Dear Students of ES 242r / ENGM 940:
You may be interested in reading about the self-introductions of your fellow students.
The attached notes are written mainly for myself. Most figures are missing. I'll draw these figures in class. So please take good notes in class.
Class Lectures with PowerPoint
I am pretty new to having a class that is fully powerpoint presentations and am wondering how everyone else is coping with it. Does anyone have any pointers or useful ways they keep notes in powerpoint classes? Printing the notes before hand? Anotating directly on the notes? Having a seperate notebook for notes and seperate handouts of presentation, etc etc?
