In this article we describe a new paradigm for “Total Force Fitness.” In an age of sustained confl ict, fi tness requires continuous performance, resilience, and recovery of the whole person, not just the physical body. Injury from these confl icts is physical and mental, social and spiritual. It impacts the service members, their families and communities, and the nation. It is now abundantly c...

The influence of the sample size (diameter while keeping the length constant) in equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of pure aluminum is examined using finite element method (FEM) and experiment. Different sized aluminum rods were processed via ECAP and the effect of sample size on the strain homogeneity, process load, and the ratio of the friction to the total force were evaluated. The resul...
