Abstract: Results showing the damage arising from water jet impact on convex, concave, and flat-inclined polymethylmethacrylate targets are presented and discussed. The direction and distribution of surface ...

Abstract: The use of end-mills for machining low curvature surfaces is examined in relation to the more popular ball-mills. End-mills are shown to give a better match to the required surface geometry ...

Abstract: A generalized method of surface definition and replication for cylindrical type objects of compound curvature is presented. The interactive approach is suited to mini-computer installations used ...

Abstract: Plasticine, Commercially Pure Lead and 6061T6 Aluminum have been used as model materials to simulate some of the forming processes that can arise during a first blow axisymmetric heading operation ...

Abstract: A combined experimental and computational investigation of the flow between a rotating cylinder and a fixed enclosure is presented. The configuration considered is related to the design of a ...

Abstract: The design of products containing sculptured surfaces typically begins with the crafting of a clay or wood model. The physical model must be reverse engineered to create a CAD representation. ...

Abstract: The development of a fully automated reverse engineering system currently faces two challenges; the time consuming digitization of the object due to the multi-view requirement of current industrial ...
