The objectives of this study were to characterize change in surface properties of tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (TZP) after hydrophilic treatment, and to determine the effect of such changes on initial attachment of osteoblast-like cells. Roughened surfaces were produced by alumina-blasting and acid-etching. Hydrophilic treatment comprised application of immediately after blasting and acid-e...

Preliminary notes This paper aims to establish the parameters of optimization and geometrical improvements for the micro-geometry of solid carbide drills through the application of sand blasting process. The effects of sand blasting over the cutting edge and also upon the micro geometry of the tool body are to be taken into consideration. This process is one of the most common ones used in the ...

This paper presents work in progress on an approach to the problem of recognizing blasting caps in x-ray images. An analysis of functional properties of blasting caps was used to design the representation space, which combines intensity and shape features. Recognition proceeds in two phases. The rst phase is a bottom-up process in which low intensity blobs are used as attention-catching devices...

The effect of a blasting vibration from an excavating tunnel on adjacent excavated is great importance for the stability and security twin tunnels. Due to relatively small distance between face concrete lining tunnel, impact could be significant should considered in practical project. In order control scales during excavation one minimize one, research based field-blasting tests performed tunne...

In the process of tunnel excavation, blasting technology is one commonly used excavation methods. The mainly divided into smooth and presplitting blasting. blasting, in order to prevent excessive damage caused by explosive often carried out means uncoupled charging. previous studies, blast hole were placed concentrically, while actual engineering, charge exists form eccentricity. this study, LS...

Blasting lumpiness prediction is one of the most important research contents in engineering blasting. Although traditional KUZ-RAM model widely used, it often overestimates size Therefore, was updated or corrected this paper by simplifying difficult problem statistical burst fragmentation LS-DYNA. Based on theory area measurement method, fitting mechanism machine learning used to study simulati...

The problem of strong ground pressure caused by thick and hard roofs in coal mine stopes has become more prominent. Blasting roof cutting relief are effective technical ways to solve this engineering problem. key achieving is the evolution penetration cracks between blasting holes a mining stress environment. To problem, research on environment being conducted. Along with specific examples, mec...

Supercritical CO2 phase change fracturing technology has been widely used in rock engineering. However, the surface vibration characteristics induced by breaking have not sufficiently studied. In this paper, a model for calculating velocity supercritical was established based on time-domain recursive method, and reliability of verified using LS-DYNA nonlinear finite element software; blasting e...
