During the past decade, polymer nanocomposites have emerged relatively as a new and rapidly developing class of composite materials and attracted considerable investment in research and development worldwide.Direct machining of polymers can be an option for personalized products and for manufacturing product samples. To obtain high quality products and reduce machining costs, it is very importa...

Introduction: Commercial drilling, even deep-sea or remote, depends on human teleoperation. Lightspeed delays mean that coring and drilling beyond the Moon requires automation in order to not get stuck or risk mission failure. The Drilling Automation for Mars Exploration (DAME) is a NASA project for developing critical-path drilling software technologies. The DAME project’s purpose was to devel...

Purpose. To analyse certain complex components of the rock breaking act during well construction stipulated by design features technical means hydromechanical drilling and diversity manifestations hydraulic physicochemical properties activated circulation medium. Methodology. Physicochemical parameters process active substance adsorption from water solutions on surfaces were studied in terms th...

PURPOSE Bone drilling is a major part of orthopaedic surgery performed during the internal fixation of fractured bones. At present, information related to drilling force, drilling torque, rate of drill-bit penetration and drill-bit rotational speed is not available to orthopaedic surgeons, clinicians and researchers as bone drilling is performed manually. METHODS This study demonstrates that ...
