Optimisation of Current and Pulse Duration in Electric Discharge Drilling of D2 Steel Using Graphite Electrode

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is one of the viable techniques for machining of D2 steel, in which the material removal occurs by spark erosion. The poor selection of EDM parameters affect the machining quality and productivity. Considering this, the p ...

Fabrication method of functional micro/nano structures over large-area, flexible and high curvature surfaces, by drawing a fiber from a preform

Fabien Sorin, Wei Yan, Alexis Gérald Page, Yunpeng Qu, Dang Tùng Nguyen

The method for drawing a fiber with a textured surface comprises the following steps: - forming of a preform from which the fiber is to be drawn with a textured surface; - addition of an outer layer to the textured preform to preserve the shape of the text ...

Characterization of Grey Cast Iron-Steel Tribo-system under Starved Lubrication Conditions : Failure, Failure Detection and Laser Surface Texturing

Fatemeh Saeidi

Reducing friction and wear is essential for building efficient systems with low energy consumption and a long lifetime. Surface texturing is one of the methods to reduce friction and wear, especially in oil-lubricated systems. However, there is still a lac ...

Development of a system for part quality prediction and process parameters adjustment in wire electrical discharge machining

Olcay Akten

In the past decades, wire electric discharge machining (W-EDM) has undergone a number of techno-logical developments aimed at improving its process performance. Still the current practice of W-EDM is not defect-free and results in a number of surface relat ...

Light Transport Matrix recovery for nearly planar objects

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Niranjan Thanikachalam

The light transport matrix has become a powerful tool for scene relighting, owing to the versatility of its representational power of various light transport phenomenon. We argue that scenes with an almost planar surface geometry, even with significant amo ...

Relations between roughness, temperature and dry sliding friction at the atomic scale

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Peter Spijker

We investigate the friction of deformable bodies, with nano-scale self-affine fractal rough surfaces, at the atomic scale using molecular dynamics. Different temperatures (0-400 K) are studied, while roughness and applied load are changed. During sliding, ...

The effect of loading on surface roughness at the atomistic level

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Peter Spijker

One of the key points to better understand the origins of friction is to know how two surfaces in contact adhere to one another. In this paper we present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of two aluminium bodies in contact, exposed to a range of normal l ...

Fluorine based plasma treatment of biocompatible silicone elastomer. Effect of temperature on etch rate and surface properties

Arnaud Bertsch, Cyrille Hibert

This paper describes F-based dry etching and resulting surface properties of biocompatible silicone elastomer. The etch rate of polysiloxane and surface morphology was found to be highly temperature dependent. An increase in temperature results in a signif ...

On the Parameterization of Surface Roughness at Regional Scales

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

A parameterization for surface roughness and blending height at regional scales, under neutral atmospheric stability, is studied and tested. The analysis is based on a suite of large-eddy simulations (LES) over surfaces with varying roughness height and mu ...

Microbial growth on partially saturated rough surfaces: Simulations in idealized roughness networks

Dani Or

A new model is developed to study the effect of aqueous phase configuration on microbial growth on rough surfaces under different hydration conditions. Surface roughness is idealized using a network of conical pits (sites) on a regular lattice connected by ...
