Abstract: Laser surface texturing uses a pulsed laser that is scanned on the surface, wherein each pulse creates a micro-crater through material ablation. A variety of textures can be generated depending on the laser parameters and ...

Abstract: A novel method of using atomized dielectric spray in microelectric discharge machining (EDM) (sprayEDM) to reduce the consumption of dielectric is developed in this study. The atomized dielectric droplets form a moving ...

Abstract: A computational model to investigate the flushing of electric discharge machining (EDM) debris from the interelectrode gap during the sprayEDM process is developed. SprayEDM differs from conventional EDM in that an atomized ...

Abstract: In this study, a heat transfer model of machining of Ti–6Al–4V under the application of atomization-based cutting fluid (ACF) spray coolant is developed to predict the temperature of the cutting tool. Owing to high tool ...

Abstract: Electrical discharge machining of conducting ceramics is often associated with high roughness and porosity, which hinders their application. This porosity-laden surface morphology necessitates a postprocessing technique ...

Abstract: This work presents a 3D progressive damage model based on Puck’s failure theory and linear damage evolution in fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates. It includes shear nonlinearity, in situ strengths, equivalent ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive transient model of various phenomena that occur during laser ablation of TiC target at subnanosecond timesteps. The model is a 1D numerical simulation using finite volume method (FVM) ...
