Abstract: This article aims to study the effects of shock-disturbed cracks on the cutting features of cone bits. By utilizing the Walsh’s model, a crack model was established for the damaged rock surrounding the induced hole, the intrusive coefficient of the cone bit was derived, and the drilling rate equation around the induced hole was formulated. The effects of crack density and disturbance ...

nowadays the surface texturing has been widely recognized as a usable capability to improve the tribological systems. in this paper, ultrasonic assisted turning (uat) isperformed to create the micro textures on the flat faces. micro surface texturing ismade on the al7075-t6 by the uat in the face turning process. then, the influences of cutting speed feed, vibration direction and vibration ampl...

The tire-road friction coefficient is critical information for conventional vehicle safety control systems. Most previous studies in tire-road friction estimation have only considered either longitudinal or lateral vehicle dynamics which tends to cause significant underestimation of the actual tire-road friction coefficient. In this paper, the parameters, including the tireroad friction coeffic...

A theoretical analysis is performed to study the flow and heat transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a stretching surface with slip velocity at the surface and heat generation absorption . The transformed equations solved numerically using the Chebyshev spectral method. Numerical results for the velocity, the angular velocity, and the t...

The compression chamber of a hermetic reciprocating compressor is, normally, formed by a cylinder and a piston which present a constant clearance during the piston displacement inside the compression chamber. This configuration has the advantage of a good sealing, however, during the most part of compression, the pressure difference between compression chamber and internal compressor ambient is...

Our aim was to elucidate the physical background of internal friction of enzyme reactions by investigating the temperature dependence of internal viscosity. By rapid transient kinetic methods, we directly measured the rate constant of trypsin 4 activation, which is an interdomain conformational rearrangement, as a function of temperature and solvent viscosity. We found that the apparent interna...

A monolayer of granular spheres in a cylindrical vial, driven continuously by an orbital shaker and subjected to a symmetric confining centrifugal potential, self-organizes to form a distinctively asymmetric structure which occupies only the rear half-space. It is marked by a sharp leading edge at the potential minimum and a curved rear. The area of the structure obeys a power-law scaling with ...
