Tribology Characteristics Estimation of Slide-way Surfaces Finished by Scraping

Tribology of Manufactured Optical Surfaces

Optical components of non-planar geometry require special machining to produce. Single point diamond turning is the manufacturing method of choice to produce these surfaces. Three main factors contribute to the quality of these surfaces. Machine accuracy has shown improvements with the increased use of air bearings. Tool wear and design are shown to be effected by the crystal orientation of the...

Carcass Characteristics of Forage-Finished Cattle Produced in Hawai‘i

It is extremely difficult for the Hawai‘i beef industry to compete against the concentrate-finished beef that dominates the U.S. beef industry because of our state’s lack of grain production, lack of economy of scale, and an inefficient processing segment. Nevertheless, produc­ ers continue to keep their faith in the local and emerg­ ing niche markets, looking for opportunities for mar­ keting ...

Numerical Investigation of Fluid Flow Characteristics Around Slide Gates Using Multi-Zonal Method

One method of solving the governing equations of fluid flow about complex geometries is to use multi-zonal method. In this method the overall domain is divided into small number of simpler domains. In each zone, the flow field is solved independently of other zones. The boundary conditions for connecting zones are enforced to convey the necessary linkage. This multi – zonal procedure has been a...

Surfaces Generated by Translation Surfaces of Type 1 in I^1_3

In this paper, we classify surface at a constant distance from the edge of regression on translation surfaces of Type 1 in the three dimensional simply isotropic space I^1_3 satisfying some algebraic equations in terms of the coordinate functions and the Laplacian operators with respect to the first, the second and the third fundamental form of the surface. We also give explicit forms of these ...
