The Australian hardwood plantation industry is challenged to identify profitable markets for the sale of its wood fibre. The majority of the hardwood plantations already established in Australia have been managed for the production of pulpwood; however, interest exists to identify more profitable and value-added markets. As a consequence of a predominately pulpwood-focused management regime, th...

Power density producing damage at a probability of 0.5 (ie, damage threshold, DT-50) was determined for PMMA (with/without UV absorber) and Silicone intraocular lenses. Scattered light from a collinear diagnostic He:Ne beam was one of four damage monitors deployed to enhance the sensitivity of the system. In order of increasing laser resistance the following results were obtained: injection mol...

Fracture toughness, critical strain energy release rate and critical stress intensity factor were determined for lathe-cut, spherical, admixed, and two atomized high-copper dental amalgams. At a loading rate of 0.005cm min -1 for 24-hour samples, the spherical amalgam had the highest resistance to unstable crack propagation. At a loading rate of 0.05 cm min -1 for both 24-hour and one-month sam...

In recent years virtual reality technology has been extensively applied to the areas relating to manufacturing, such as factory layout planning, manufacturing planning, operation training, system testing, and process control, etc. Most of the studies made in the past focused on the simulation and monitoring of the entire manufacturing system, or the simulation of working schedule implementation...

Old machines often breakdown unpredictably increasing your expenses through maintenance costs and lost production. In the present era various modern technologies are been emerging in field of manufacturing which proven to be disruptive. For established industries their machine tools sometimes it is difficult cope up with current scenario. Hence retrofitting an term where improvisation old setup...

For lathe machining, pre-processing of the CAD data in Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is essential since it is the link between CAD and CAM. Thus, cylindrical part model orientation is important to be determined in order to ensure the cutting parameter is correctly setup. Without proper orientation during the pre-processing of the cylindrical part model, further calculation and setup wi...
