Abstract: This study investigated the sawing of A-plane and C-plane sapphires using the reciprocating diamond wire saw. The influences of process parameters and sapphire crystal structure on sawing force were experimentally researched. ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of grinding temperatures are used to estimate the energy partition to the workpiece. In the present investigation, three different temperature measuring techniques are ...

Abstract: An investigation is reported of the forces and energy in circular sawing and grinding of gray granite. Measurements were made of the forces and power over a wide range of sawing and grinding ...

Abstract: The efficacy of cancer chemotherapy can be greatly enhanced by thermally targeted nanoparticle liposome drug delivery system. A new theoretical model coupling heat and mass transfer has been ...

Abstract: A method of research on the size effect of the specific cutting energy based on the numerical simulation has been proposed. The theoretical model of the research on size effect of specific cutting energy using single grit ...

Abstract: J-lay is currently the most appropriate technique for pipeline installations in deep and ultradeep waters. Pipelay parameters can significantly influence the dynamic behavior of deepwater J-lay systems. This study proposed ...

Abstract: Hydraulic accidents or abnormal situations, also known as leakages, cause not only water losses but also service interruptions and other negative effects. To facilitate the rapid response of water utilities and reduce water ...

Abstract: Effectively detecting leaks is critical to improving leakage control management. Acoustic detection is one of the main leakage detection methods, and has been widely used in water utilities. Nevertheless, the effectiveness ...
