"Incognitum hactenus by Kristen Alvanson."

A unique fusion of comics culture and philosophical cogitation takes readers on a ride through time, space, and thought.Approaching the comic medium as a supercollider for achieving maximum abstraction, in Chronosis artist Keith Tilford and philosopher Reza Negarestani create a graphically stunning and conceptually explosive universe in which the worlds of pop culture, modern art, philosophy, science fiction, and theoretical physics crash into one another.Taking place after the catastrophic advent of the birth of time, Chronosis narrates the story of a sprawling multiverse at the center of which monazzeins, the monks of an esoteric time-cult, attempt to build bridges between the many fragmented tribes and histories of multiple possible worlds. Across a series of dizzying overlapping stories we glimpse worlds where time flows backward, where the universe can be recreated every five minutes, or where rigid facts are washed away by the tides of an infinite ocean of possibility.A unique fusion of comics culture and philosophical cogitation, this conceptually and visually mind-expanding tale takes the reader on a dizzying rollercoaster ride through time, space, and thought.This volume contains the entire Chronosis series in full color, along with additional background materials including early sketches, script notes, and alternative covers.

High speed machining is governed by the tool material an its geometry. It has hence been ever interesting to realise the exact behaviour of the tool under the process. A general view on machining, tool and involved forces and their available analyses is presented. FE analysis of stress distribution on the rake face, as a crucial factor on tool life, has been limited to constitutive flow stress models and friction conditions applicable whithin the FE packages. A comprehensive FE analysis based on five different flow stress models and variable friction conditions is presented using Deform 2D package on AISI1045 steel. High deformation criterion for metal forming, modified constitutive flow stress models and complicated friction conditions were applied in the package without numerical instabilities which makes the work distinctive. Predictions were in good agreement to the experimental studies and suggest a reliable benchmark of the package capabilities to understand the stress distribution mechanism in orthogonal cutting.
