Ultrasonic vibration assisted micro end grinding (UAMEG) is a promising processing method for micro parts made of hard and brittle materials. First, the influence of ultrasonic assistance on the mechanism of this processing technology is theoretically analyzed. Then, in order to reveal the effects of ultrasonic vibration and grinding parameters on grinding forces and surface quality, contrast grinding tests of silica glass with and without ultrasonic assistance using micro radial electroplated diamond wheel are conducted. The grinding forces are measured using a three-component dynamometer. The surface characteristics are detected using the scanning electron microscope. The experiment results demonstrate that grinding forces are significantly reduced by introducing ultrasonic vibration into conventional micro end grinding (CMEG) of silica glass; ultrasonic assistance causes inhibiting effect on variation percentages of tangential grinding force with grinding parameters; ductile machining is easier to be achieved and surface quality is obviously improved due to ultrasonic assistance in UAMEG. Therefore, larger grinding depth and feed rate adopted in UAMEG can lead to the improvement of removal rate and machining efficiency compared with CMEG.

Excellent wheel dressing technology can ensure the ground surface quality effectively. Because precision machining has a strict requirement on the wheel dressing, the wheel dressing with ultrasonic vibration was adopted, and the device of ultrasonic vibration dressing was also designed in this paper. On the base of analysis mechanism of ultrasonic vibration dressing wheel, the grinding experiment was carried out in different dressing conditions. The surface characteristics of ultrasonic dressing wheel and the influence of different dressing parameters on the workpiece surface quality were studied. Furthermore, the optimal dressing parameters have been obtained. The experiment results indicate that the micro cutting edge of grinding wheel distribute sparsely in circumferential directional but densely in axial direction in the condition of ultrasonic dressing, and it is particular characteristic of ultrasonic dressing. When the dressing and grinding conditions are suitable, the workpiece surface roughness can be reduced, but the conditions are not arbitrary. At the same time, the workpiece surface burn can be effectively reduced, even if the larger grinding depth is used during the grinding process.

Abstract To improve the machining performance of different processing materials, a three-excitation ultrasonic spatial vibration-assisted turning system is proposed, which realizes the non-unity of the plane where the cutting trajectory of the tool is located. The influence and formation law of three-excitation ultrasonic spatial vibration-assisted turning on the surface roughness of the workpiece under different vibration parameters (amplitude) and machining parameters (cutting speed, cutting depth, and feed) were analyzed by response surface methodology. The results show that in terms of vibration parameters, the influence of ultrasonic vibration applied in the horizontal direction on surface roughness is significantly greater than that of ultrasonic vibration applied in the vertical direction, while the feed has the greatest influence on surface roughness, followed by cutting speed. The surface roughness of common turning, one-dimensional ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning, ultrasonic elliptical vibration-assisted turning, and three-excitation ultrasonic spatial vibration-assisted turning were theoretically analyzed and experimentally compared. The results show that compared with the other three turning methods, the three-excitation ultrasonic spatial vibration-assisted turning can obtain a lower surface roughness and have good machinability.

Due to its vast applications and stochastic nature, grinding has been the subject of investigations and modifications for decades. Applying ultrasonic vibration in grinding has been a successful innovation introducing benefits such as reduced forces and temperature, improved surface quality, and making higher removal rates possible. In this work a set-up is developed for utilizing ultrasonic vibrations in cylindrical grinding. This is done by rotating and simultaneously vibrating the workpiece material. The set-up is used for cylindrical grinding of Alumina-zirconia ceramic as a difficult-to-grind and widely used industrial ceramic. Optimized parameters for efficient grinding and surface characteristics of the ground ceramic are investigated and the effects of ultrasonic vibration are declared.

SummaryTwenty-seven adult male New Zealand rabbits (3–4 kgs) were used in this study. Six rabbits received vehicle, 3 groups of 6 each received doses of 4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)- thiazole, (U-53,059), at 0.3 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 30.0 mg/kg/day respectively. Drug and vehicle doses were given orally each day starting 3 days before balloon injury and continuing for the entire 2 week time period. Three rabbits were used as nontreated sham controls. In the vehicle and U-53,059 treated groups aortae were denuded of endothelial cells by balloon catheter injury. Two weeks after injury platelet aggregation to collagen was measured and the aortae removed for analysis of surface characteristics by scanning electron microscopy and lesion size by morphometry. All doses of U-53,059 inhibited platelet aggregation. The 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg groups had the greatest inhibitory effect. All balloon injured aortae had the same morphologic characteristics. All vessels had similar extent and intensity of Evan’s blue staining, similar areas of leukocyte/platelet adhesion, and a myointimal cell cover of transformed smooth muscle cells. The myointimal proliferative response was not inhibited at any of the drug doses studied.

AbstractSeveral photocatalysts, based on titanium dioxide, were synthesized by spark anodization techniques and anodic spark oxidation. Photocatalytic activity was determined by methylene blue oxidation and the catalytic activities of the catalysts were evaluated after 70 hours of reaction. Scanning Electron Microscopy and X Ray Diffraction analysis were used to characterize the catalysts. The photocatalyst prepared with a solution of sulfuric acid and 100 V presented the best performance in terms of oxidation of the dye (62%). The electric potential during the synthesis (10 V, low potential; 100 V, high potential) affected the surface characteristics: under low potential, catalyst presented smooth and homogeneous surfaces with spots (high TiO2 concentration) of amorphous solids; under low potential, catalyst presented porous surfaces with crystalline solids homogeneously distributed.

ABSTRACT For tire designers, rubber friction is a topic of pronounced practical importance. Thus, development of a rubber–road contact model is of great interest. In this research, to predict the effectiveness of the tread compound in a tire as it interacts with the pavement, the physics-based multiscale rubber-friction theories developed by B. Persson and M. Klüppel were studied. The strengths of each method were identified and incorporated into a consolidated model that is more comprehensive and proficient than any single, existing, physics-based approach. In the present work, the friction coefficient was estimated for a summer tire tread compound sliding on sandpaper. The inputs to the model were the fractal properties of the rough surface and the dynamic viscoelastic modulus of rubber. The sandpaper-surface profile was measured accurately using an optical profilometer. Two-dimensional parameterization was performed using one-dimensional profile measurements. The tire tread compound was characterized via dynamic mechanical analysis. To validate the friction model, a laboratory-based, rubber-friction test that could measure the friction between a rubber sample and any arbitrary rough surface was designed and built. The apparatus consisted of a turntable, which can have the surface characteristics of choice, and a rubber wheel in contact with the turntable. The wheel speed, as well as the turntable speed, could be controlled precisely to generate the arbitrary values of longitudinal slip at which the dynamic coefficient of friction was measured. The correlation between the simulation and the experimental results was investigated.

Abstract Treads made with emulsion styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBR), solution SBR, polybutadiene (BR), and a 60/40 emulsion SBR/BR mixture were built as four-way tread sections on G78-15 belted bias tires, which were driven over both concrete and gravel-textured highways and on a small, circular, concrete test track. The tires were front mounted. When driven on concrete highway, all except the BR tread had either crumbled- or liquid-appearing surfaces, thought to have been formed by mechanical degradation or fatigue. When cornered on concrete, these materials formed small cylindrical particles or rolls. The BR tread had a smooth, granular-textured surface when driven on concrete highway and a ridge or sawtooth abrasion pattern when cornered on concrete. All the materials appeared rough and torn when run on gravel-textured highway. The differences in wear surface formed on BR tread and the other three are thought to be due primarily to the relatively high resilience of BR.
