Abstract: An investigation is reported on the mechanics of the rotary dressing process for grinding wheels. Dressing forces were measured over a wide range of conditions, and SEM observations were made ...

Abstract: An investigation is described of the effects of rotary dressing on grinding wheel performance. Grinding performance is evaluated mainly in terms of the grinding forces and surface finish. It ...

Abstract: This note addresses several issues raised in a 1994 paper by Ramu and Kennedy. Solid-waste–disposal siting is a complex process that must take into consideration a varying range of social, political, and environmental ...

Abstract: Closing schools is a difficult task. Such decisions are often made and discussed in an emotionally charged atmosphere. Since there are usually a number of alternatives, researchers have argued for the use of multiobjective ...

Abstract: The initial step in the repair of a thermal or chemical burn is wound debridement, the removal of the dead skin covering the burn. Afterwards, the exposed wound is covered with a viable ...

Abstract: One of the ways to install plate anchors in deep seabed is to drop the anchor system from the sea level and allow it to initially embed in the seabed under its own weight. Further dragging would cause the anchor to rotate ...

Abstract: The relationships between the force measured during wetting balance tests and the observed changes of contact angle and meniscus shape are studied. Experiments using silicone oil at 25, 50, and ...
