When tool vibration occurs during machining both the undeformed chip thickness and the cutting forces have oscillating components. An examination of previous work reveals that both the relative phases and amplitudes of the oscillating forces and the oscillating undeformed chip thickness can be affected appreciably by changes in frequency. The explanations for this behaviour which have been put forward are not entirely consistent with previous experimental evidence. In the present work an analysis of the thrust forces occurring during tool vibration is proposed. The analysis is based on the assumption that there are two components to the oscillating thrust force: (1) a component proportional to, and in phase with, the oscillations in undeformed chip thickness and (2) a component, caused by contact between a small area of the tool flank and the freshly cut work surface, which leads the oscillation in undeformed chip thickness by 90°. Experimental results are presented which validate the assumptions made in the analysis. On applying the analysis to present and past experimental results, there is good agreement between theory and experiment when cutting at sufficient speed to prevent the formation of a substantial built-up edge: when cutting within the built-up edge speed range the theoretical predictions are less satisfactory, though still qualitatively correct. The results also show that changes in undeformed chip thickness have a smaller effect on the tool forces under vibratory conditions than under steady conditions.

SummaryTests were made in the N.A.C.A. gust tunnel to determine the effectiveness of a long-period dynamically overbalanced flap in reducing aeroplane accelerations due to atmospheric gusts. For two gust shapes, one gust velocity, one forward velocity, and one wing loading, a series of flights was made with the flap locked and was then repeated with the flap free to operate. The records obtained were evaluated by routine methods.The results indicate that the flap reduced the maximum acceleration increment 39 per cent, for a severe gust with a representative gust gradient distance of 8 chord lengths and that, for an extreme gust shape (a sharp-edge gust), the reduction was only 3 per cent. The results also indicate that the flap tended to reduce the longitudinal stability of the aeroplane. Computations made of the effectiveness and the action of the flap were in good agreement with the experimental results.

New closed-form expressions are introduced for ax-symmetric progressive axial collapse of pipes that use a plastic folding mechanism based on variable length of an active plastic hinge zone. A procedure for determination of a load—displacement curve of axial pipe collapse is presented. Theoretical predictions give a good agreement with the experimental results owing to the influence of presented new refinements.

Previous work has shown that during the removal of a surface waveform oscillating cutting force components arise which may have a phase difference with respect to the oscillating component of undeformed chip thickness; it has also shown that the shear angle is affected by the slopes of the surface waveform. However, no attempt to predict the oscillating force behaviour from the geometry of cutting has been reported. The present work attempts to achieve such a prediction by means of an analysis of the phase and magnitude of the oscillating force components acting in two directions; in the directions of the mean shear plane and of the tool rake face. In the analysis it is assumed that the shear angle oscillates in phase with and proportionally to the surface slope, and that the curvature of the chip varies with the undeformed chip thickness. An experimental technique for cutting with variable undeformed chip thickness is described, together with a method for recording and measuring the oscillating components of force and undeformed chip thickness. Experimental results are presented which show the assumptions made in the analysis to be substantially valid; the predicted oscillating forces are shown to be in adequate agreement with experiment over a range of experimental conditions. It is shown that the oscillation of the shear angle is primarily dependent on the surface slope and that the frictional force behaviour is consistent with the characteristics of the two regions of friction, sticking and sliding, as found in work on cutting with constant undeformed chip thickness.

A theoretical discussion has been presented for the ductile chip formation in grinding of brittle materials. The single abrasive grit was dealt with a top-rounded cutter removing material of varying undeformed chip thickness. The force model in the chip formation zone was established. The stress analysis showed that larger compressive stress and shear stress can be generated in the chip formation zone, which shields the growth of pre-existing flaws in the material by suppressing the stress intensity factor. When the stress intensify factor is smaller than fracture toughness and the resolved shear stress exceeds the critical flow stress of the material, the ductile chip is formed. Experiments of monocrystal silicon grinding were conducted. The results show that the thrust force is much larger than the cutting force, which ensures the larger compressive stress in the chip formation zone and the formation of ductile chip.

A flame plasma whose electron and (or) ion density can be varied over several orders of magnitude is constrained to flow perpendicular to a planar grid Langmuir probe. The probe is biased negative to the plasma, and the current–voltage characteristics and the thickness of the ion sheath formed at the probe are measured. The level of the electron and (or) ion density is set within a range at which the probe current due to thermal ionization throughout the sheath is comparable with the current of ions convected into the sheath. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of a recent theoretical paper that calculates the effect of recombination upon the characteristics of planar, cylindrical, and spherical probes with boundary layer sheaths. The theoretical predictions and experimental results for an idealized planar configuration show good agreement over wide ranges of variation of probe bias and plasma electron and (or) ion density. This verification of the theoretical planar electrode – perpendicular-flow model, which is the basis for all three boundary layer relations, is seen as providing strong backing for these relations, which have application to ionization measurements in various forms of recombinant plasma.

Theoretical predictions of the behaviour of various parameters governing the free flow of a single, very long, denser-than-liquid carrier, cylindrical capsule in a horizontal pipeline are reported in this paper. The study was carried out for average flow velocities of approximately 1–10 ft/s in pipes of diameters 4, 6, 12, and 24 in with diameter ratios varying from 0·9 to 0·99. While two liquid carriers—water and an oil ( μ = 10 cP and sp. gr. = 0·85)—were used, the eccentricity of the capsule-pipe system was fixed at 0·999. The theoretical solution was found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.


This paper is a sequel to Sir Geoffrey Taylor’s study of the bursting of an electrified cylindrical conducting film. Taylor described experiments in which the voltages, at which the film becomes statically unstable, were observed for various lengths of film. These results were compared with the theoretical predictions for disturbances on an infinitely long cylinder having a wavelength equal to the length of film used. It is shown here that a transition in the mode of bursting from an axisymmetric whole wavelength mode to a lateral half wavelength mode is to be expected and that the experimental data conform with this transition. An exact calculation of the modes for a film of finite length is also given here and the resulting theoretical predictions of instability and bursting voltages are in very good agreement with the experimental results.

In this paper, we study the electrowetting effect of superhydrophobic SU-8 film as the dielectric for Electrowetting-on-Dielectric (EWOD). The change of apparent contact angle (APCA) on superhydrophobic surface in electrowetting systems was measured and analyzed using a modified Lippmann-Yong equation. The variation of APCA between droplet and device surface under various DC voltage and AC voltage of different frequencies was fully experimented. The experimental results were in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. This study shows the potential of using superhydrophobic SU-8 film as the dielectric layer in high-performance EWOD devices.

The textures and nanomechanical properties of nanocrystalline Fe-50wt%Ni foil fabricated by using an electroforming method were investigated. The as-deposited texture was characterized by major <100>//ND and minor <111>//ND fibre components. Annealing of the as-deposited specimen resulted in the texture change that the <111>//ND fibre texture developed strongly with decreasing <100>//ND intensity. The elastic modulus and hardness were investigated by nanoindentation test, and these experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions based on an elastic self-consistent (ESC) polycrystal model. Annealing led to an increase in the elastic modulus and a strong decrease in the hardness. At the low ratio of indentation depth to the specimen thickness, the theoretical predictions of the elastic modulus in the sample thickness direction showed a good agreement with experimental results.

The relation between the power received by a short, rectangular, electromagnetic horn, and its angular position in a plane electromagnetic field can be calculated, for rotation in the plane of the electric vector, from ordinary optical theory by assuming that the aperture produces at the throat a Fresnel diffraction pattern appropriate to the angular position of the aperture. Experimental results for four horns of slant lengths 25, 50, 100, and 176 cm., but all of the same aperture, 10λ to a side at a wave length of 3.2 cm., are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions at angles up to [Formula: see text] radian from the axis, for slant lengths down to 50 cm. but not down to 25 cm.
