Conventional material removal of BK7 optical glass will normally result in brittle fracture at the surface, generating severe subsurface damage and poor surface finish. Subsurface damages induced by grinding strongly influence the mechanical strength and optical quality of optical glasses. However, through ductile mode grinding it is possible to reduce the surface and subsurface cracks. It is m...

Abrasive machining in general and grinding in particular are processes, which increase their importance with high demands on accuracy of surface finish. The chip thickness is an evaluating variable to describe the quality of ground surface as well as the performance of the overall grinding system. A significant characteristic that distinguishes ceramics from metals is their low fracture toughne...

Grinding is a complex material removal process with a large number of parameters influencing each other. In the process, the grinding wheel surface contacts the workpiece at high speed and under high pressure. The complexity of the process lies in the multiple microscopic interaction modes in the wheel-workpiece contact zone, including cutting, plowing, sliding, chip/workpiece friction, chip/bo...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of degradation of a denture base resin on bond strength to relining resins. Denture base resin specimens were immersed under various conditions to simulate degradation. Tensile bond strength of denture base resin after immersion to relining resins was measured with or without surface grinding. The bond strength of denture base resin without g...

This paper focuses on the development of high temperatures in the cutting zone during high performance grinding. In order to identify the infl uence of grinding temperature on surface integrity, temperatures were measured in the workpiece surface layer under diff erent machining conditions. Beside this, under the same conditions, the surface layer properties of the workpiece material were deter...

The role of intercuspation of the teeth in transverse maxillary growth and dental arch development was investigated radiographically with the aid of implants in Macaca fascicularis monkeys. Fourteen animals were randomly allocated to a control group (n = 7) and an experimental group (n = 7) and were followed from 29 to 100 weeks of age. Intercuspation was eliminated in the experimental group by...

This work presents a system of measuring grinding forces in precision applications. Several experiments demonstrate the performance in monitoring diamond wheel dressing, detecting workpiece contact, and process monitoring. The system appears promising for monitoring precision wafer grinding since this approach provides excellent sensitivity, high signal resolution, and good bandwidth. INTRODUCT...

Publicly open databases of small compounds have become an indispensable tool for chemoinformaticians for collection and preparation of datasets suitable for drug discovery questions. Since these databases comprise compounds coming from structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies performed by different research groups, they are very diverse with respect to the biological assays used. In the pr...

A technique based on physical maceration of root tissue was developed to extract vermiform and swollen stages of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis. Experiments conducted on soybean and tomato evaluated the efficiency of method (stir, grind), NaOC1 concentration (0%, 0.5%), and duration (lx, 2x) on extraction of nematodes and eggs from 60-day-old populations. Root-associated pop...

cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, high pressure grinding rolls (hpgr) and more recently vertical roller mills (vrm) units in cement plants to c...
