A theoretical and experimental investigation of the effect of pressure on Mechanical Specific Energy and Cutting Efficiency was performed. The bottomhole expansion theory of Warren and Smith was verified and it was shown through finite element analysis that permeability of the formation restricts the use of this theory in many cases. Single cutter experimentations under pressure showed that the...

Instruments used in surgery which rotate or vibrate at a high frequency can produce potentially contaminated aerosols. Such tools are in use in cemented hip revision arthroplasties. We aimed to measure the extent of the environmental and body contamination caused by an ultrasound device and a high-speed cutter. On a human cadaver we carried out a complete surgical procedure including draping an...

Thin-walled workpieces, such as aero-engine blisks and casings, are usually made of hard-to-cut materials. The wall thickness is very small and it is easy to deflect during milling process under dynamic cutting forces, leading to inaccurate workpiece dimensions and poor surface integrity. To understand the workpiece deflection behavior in a machining process, a new real-time nonintrusive method...

In view of the unstable cutting problem in the process of high speed milling hardened steel. Conduct experiment of the stability of machine tool and high speed milling cutter. The machine tool spindle vibration spectrum and vibration acceleration signal under the condition of different centrifugal force were detected. Obtained the critical speed of security and stability cutting of milling cutt...

While leaf-cutter ants are thought to collect mainly vegetative plant material, they have also been observed collecting seeds or fruit parts on the forest floor (Alvarez-Buylla & Martı́nez-Ramos 1990, Kaspari 1996). For example, leafcutter ants have been observed carrying considerable numbers of Brosimum alicastrum Sw. and Cecropia spp. seeds into their nests (Wirth 1996) and Leal & Oliveira (19...

Host-parasite dynamics can be altered when a host is infected by multiple parasite genotypes. The different strains of parasite are expected to compete for the limited host resources, potentially affecting the survival and reproduction of the host as well as the infecting parasites. Fungus-growing ants, including the well-known leaf-cutters, are an emerging model system for studying the evoluti...

Between these extremes are machines such as the McConnel, The evolution of the Sasex cutter for the whole stalk sugarwhich leaves the cane in a sausage for subsequent manhandling cane is discussed. The original concept was a very simple into windrows (with up to eight rows goinginto one windrow), machine known as the "cane sny7-. F~~~ this was developed or for building into stacks. There are al...

‎In this short note‎, ‎we present some inequalities for relative operator entropy which are generalizations of some results obtained by Zou [Operator inequalities associated with Tsallis relative operator entropy‎, ‎{em Math‎. ‎Inequal‎. ‎Appl.}‎ ‎{18} (2015)‎, ‎no‎. ‎2‎, ‎401--406]‎. ‎Meanwhile‎, ‎we also show some new lower and upper bounds for relative operator entropy and Tsallis relative o...

Aim. In the study learning trial was made to make a mathematical model of assembling process in connections " tungsten carbide insert cutter - cone", while methods statistics were applied. This makes it possible determine parameters distribution closing link. Accordingly, tension is determined by samples constituent links. For this purpose, amount investigated. Tension affects change stress, wh...
