A Study of Kerf Characteristics in Abrasive Waterjet Machining of Graphite/Epoxy Composite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Kerf geometry, kerf wall features, and cutting front characteristics of an Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) machined Graphite/Epoxy (Gr/Ep) laminate were studied. A macroscopic analyses suggests that ...
Surface Texture, Fatigue, and the Reduction in Stiffness of Fiber Reinforced Plastics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study the influence of machined surface texture on the fatigue strength of a Graphite/Bismaleimide (Gr/Bmi) laminate was examined. Rectangular beam specimens were machined to achieve ...
Finite Element Modeling of Edge Trimming Fiber Reinforced Plastics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A finite element model was developed to simulate chip formation in the edge trimming of unidirectional Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) with orthogonal cutting tools. Fiber orientations (θ) within ...
An Evaluation of Abrasive Waterjet Peening With Elastic Prestress
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abrasive waterjet peening (AWJP) has been conceived as a new surface treatment process capable of achieving desired changes in surface texture, chemistry, and residual stress simultaneously. In ...
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser For Root Canal Disinfection: Theoretical Simulation of Temperature Elevations in Root Dentin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) lasers are currently being investigated for disinfecting the root canal system. Prior to using laser therapy, it is important to ...
Waterjet Machining and Peening of Metals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to determine the influence of high-pressure waterjet (WJ) peening and abrasive waterjet (AWJ) machining on the surface integrity and texture of metals. A ...
