Abstract: Heat generated during grinding may cause thermal damage to the workpiece and wheel. To avoid this, grinding fluids are often used, but their effects are not well understood. A simple analytical ...

Abstract: The present work developed numerical codes that simulate steady-state grinding process kinematics. The three-dimensional modeling procedure entails the following: specifying the sizes, shapes, and ...

Abstract: Conventional grinding is usually carried out in upgrinding mode, with the wheel moving in the opposite direction from the workpiece. In this paper, a thermal model is developed for upgrinding. ...

Abstract: Coated powder particles composed of a ceramic core and a metallic coating are being considered for plasma spray applications. The goal of using these powders is to produce particulate-reinforced ...

Abstract: We propose a new device-level concept for a thermal switch that exploits the temperature dependence of the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material oscillating between a hot and a cold surface. ...
