2D Accessibility Analysis for Waterjet Cleaning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effective cleaning with high pressure waterjets requires direct impact of jets and sufficiently high impact pressure. The objective of this research is to find all such cleanable regions, given a CAD model of a workpiece, by means of geometric accessibility analysis. We use a configuration space (C-space) approach for addressing the problems of both optimum surface proximity for effective cleaning and collision avoidance between the cleaning lance and the workpiece. Minkowski sums are used to compute the C-spaces and cleanable regions are then found by visibility analysis. Implementations and results for 2D examples are shown to validate the approach.

Experimental Investigation on the Influence of a Double-Walled Confined Width on the Velocity Field of a Submerged Waterjet
The current research on confined submerged waterjets mainly focuses on the flow field of the impinging jet and wall jet. The double-sided wall vertically confined waterjet, which is widely used in many fields such as mining, cleaning and surface strengthening, has rarely been studied so far. In order to explore the influence of a double-sided wall confined width on the velocity field of submerg...

Colonoscopy is the preferred diagnostic and therapeutic modality in the lower intestinal tract. Most Dutch hospitals use Lefax (Bayer Vital GmbH, Leverkusen, Germany) to optimize endoscopic imaging. The main component of Lefax is simethicone (●" Fig.1), a silicondioxide crystalloid of the silicone polymer dimethicone, which decreases the surface tension of bubbles. Lefax is added towater and in...

Numerical modeling of machining processes is of significance in the parametric analysis and optimization of their performance. In this paper, a finite element-based model of abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting of a ductile material is presented with the help of an explicit, nonlinear finite element method. In this model, both solid-solid interaction and fluid-structure interaction are considered. T...

Original scientific paper The paper presents the fractal analysis application for a simple evaluation of the quality of waterjet treated surfaces, especially after abrasive waterjet cutting. This analysis will enable the elimination of subjective assessments of treated surfaces. This will ensure a clear estimate of the quality of the surface and the ability to objectively compare the quality of...
