This paper presents a new thermal model for bone drilling with applications to orthopaedic surgery. The new model combines a unique heat-balance equation for the system of the drill bit and the chip stream, an ordinary heat diffusion equation for the bone, and heat generation at the drill tip, arising from the cutting process and friction. Modeling of the drill bit-chip stream system assumes an...

The analysis of drill cutting angles is important for the design of high-performance drill geometry. The cutting angles along the cutting edge of a drill are determined by the combination of its flute and flank surfaces. This paper examines the analysis of both flute and flank surface models and the evaluation of drill cutting angles. A new mathematical model for an arbitrary drill flute face i...

Drilling is the most frequently employed operation of secondary machining for fiber-reinforced materials owing to the need for structure joining. Delamination is one of the serious concerns during drilling. Practical experience shows that an eccentric twist drill or an eccentric candle stick drill can degrade the quality of the fiber reinforced material. Comprehensive delamination models for th...

Designing a high-performance twist drill is difficult due to the complex relationship between drill geometry and numerous and conflicting design goals. Earlier approaches of computer-aided twist drill design are limited to only few design aspects. This article presents a new holistic method of using computing power for twist drill design and optimization. A complete drill geometry model is used...

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of a) a flame heated endo plugger, b) gatesglidden drills and c) gpx drills on the apical seal for the purpose of post space preparation. materials & methods: the crowns of sixty six extracted maxillary central teeth were removed from cej by a diamond disc and the root canals were prepared and obturated with guttapercha and sealer (ah26)...

Abstract Drill core is a vital resource for subsurface characterization and informs process understanding. However, it expensive to collect and, as result, the geoscience community increasingly relies on data from legacy address today's energy challenges. Many countries store geological materials collected over decades in national archives. In UK, 600 km of drill currently stored at UK reposito...

Abstract Mineral and hydrocarbon exploration relies heavily on geological geotechnical information extracted from drill cores. Traditional drill-core characterization is based purely the subjective expertise of a geologist. New technologies can provide automatic mineral analysis high-resolution core images in non-destructive manner. However, automated rock mass presents significant challenge du...

Hardware and software consistency protocols rely on global observability of consistency events. Acknowledged broadcast is an obvious choice to propagate these events. This paper presents a generalized ring topology for parallel event propagation with acknowledged delivery. Implementations for various many-core architectures show increased performance over conventional approaches. Therefore, dia...

Two types of micron-diamond films were prepared on YG6 substrate by hot filament chemical vapor deposition(HFCVD) method. Morphology and orientation of crystalline growth were evaluated by SEM and XRD. Diamond film coated tools and sapphire wafer’ surface before and after lapping experiment  were contrasted. The results indicated that a significant change in Raman spectrum of two types of micro...

In this paper we prove several new parity results for broken k-diamond partitions introduced in 2007 by Andrews and Paule. In the process, we also prove numerous congruence properties for (2k+1)-core partitions. The proof technique involves a general lemma on congruences which is based on modular forms.
