a water jet machining is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using avery high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. this paperaddresses the concept of the intelligent knowledge base system (ikbs) for optimization of productdesign and manufacturing process for water jet machining in computer based concurrentengineering environment. ...

Cutting or welding heavy metal requires higher laser output power than virtually any other type of materials processing application. In the oil industry, an important heavy metal cutting application is creating the slotted liners used to separate oil from well sediments such as sand and gravel. Traditionally, this was done with diffusion-cooled CO2 slab lasers, but now, kilowatt-class fiber las...

this paper aims to assess the application of support vector machine (svm) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. to this end, 10000 four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...

In the present research work, effect of several process parameters on the machining characteristics of borosilicate glass has been reported. The machining characteristics that are being investigated are material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR). Four different process parameters were considered for this study power rating of the machine, static load, slurry concentration and abrasive...

Magnetic Abrasive Polishing (MAP) is a super-finishing process primarily used for polishing of nonmagnetic and hard materials like, ceramics and stainless steel. This paper deals with the detailed parametric study in polishing of stainless steel work surface. Statistically designed experiments based on Taguchi methods show that size-ratio, tool-work surface clearance, polishing speed, magnetic ...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to characterize the surface texture generated, during Magnetic Field Assisted Abrasive Finishing (MFAAF) of SS316L material. The changes in surface texture generated are studied by using surface roughness profiler, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The deep cutting marks left by grinding process have been removed and re...
