Ultra High-Speed Metal Cutting Mechanism with Shock Waves.

High Speed Thin Metal Cutting using Fiber Laser Technology

There are several methods available for precision cutting of thin metals less than 0.06-inch thick used for these applications, which include materials such as stainless steel, titanium, nickel, and aluminum. The major options, lasers, electric discharge machining (EDM), water-jet, and chemical machining each have a role to play. However, precision fiber laser cutting technology is now emerging...

Particle Spectra Of Ultra - Relativistic Shock Waves

Numerical Monte Carlo simulations of the diffusive shock acceleration in the test particle limit are investigated. We simulate high relativistic flow astrophysical plasmas for upstream γ ∼ 5 and up to γ ∼ 1000. These gamma values are relevant to the diffusive shock acceleration models of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). The spectral shape for the above high relativistic...

Ultra high-speed sorting.

BACKGROUND Cell sorting has a history dating back approximately 40 years. The main limitation has been that, although flow cytometry is a science, cell sorting has been an art during most of this time. Recent advances in assisting technologies have helped to decrease the amount of expertise necessary to perform sorting. METHODS Droplet-based sorting is based on a controlled disturbance of a j...

Mechanics of high speed cutting with curvilinear edge tools

High speed cutting is advantageous due to the reduced forces and power, increased energy savings, and overall improved productivity for discrete-part metal manufacturing. However, tool edge geometry and combined cutting conditions highly affects the performance of high speed cutting. In this study, mechanics of cutting with curvilinear (round and oval-like) edge preparation tools in the presenc...
