Punching holes in sheet glass under high pressure.

Manufacturing Features in Cutting Shapes and Punching Holes in Sheet Metal

By examining sheet metal parts it is rather evident that each sheet metal shape has its own manufacturing procedure. There are several manufacturing devices behind each procedure. This means that each shape can be divided into manufacturing features, which consist of shapes of sheet metal and their manufacturing methods. When creating rules and structures for manufacturing features, it is possi...

Punching Glass: A 10-Year Consecutive Series

INTRODUCTION Punching glass can cause severe and debilitating injuries. The literature is scant in regards to the injury patterns, optimal management, and preventative strategies. We have reviewed our experience of these injuries at a regional Australian hospital. METHODS A retrospective chart review of all patients who had punched glass and presented to Cairns Base Hospital between January 2...

High performance under pressure.

Nanomaterials under high-pressure.

The use of high-pressure for the study and elaboration of homogeneous nanostructures is critically reviewed. Size effects, the interaction between nanostructures and guest species or the interaction of the nanosystem with the pressure transmitting medium are emphasized. Phase diagrams and the possibilities opened by the combination of pressure and temperature for the elaboration of new nanomate...

Damage Assessment in Glass Fiber-Epoxy Matrix Composite under High Velocity Impact of Ice

This study investigated the influence of nanoclay on the impact damage resistance of glass fiber-epoxy composites under high velocity ice impact loading. Addition of 0.5 wt. % nanoclay into epoxy was shown to improve damage resistance compared to composite plates having no nanoclay platelet. The glass fiber-epoxy composites containing nanoclay brought about substantial improvement in ice impact...
