A novel honing and polishing process utilizes polyborosiloxane impregnated with a range of abrasives in particulate form, to polish mould cavities of complex geometry. The polymer, which deforms in such a way as to allow complete coverage of the target surface, is used to carry the abrasive. This compound is agitated using an ultrasonic source and is made to flow relative to the target surface. The process causes heating of the various components in the system. This is the second paper concerned with the prediction of the resultant temperature distributions. The work reported here is an extension of the previous work to take into account the complex geometry of the multi-component system used in the operation. Furthermore, the development of the honing process required the introduction of flow of polishing compound relative to the workpiece. As a result the previous work has been extended to take into account the thermal effects of this flow. The modelling work has been complemented by measurement of temperatures in a geometry that is representative of the processing requirements. The calculated and measured results have been compared and the model validated accordingly.

In this work on the example of educational system of Uzbekistan the new paradigm of education is substantiated in the following edition: education through all life. It is demonstrated that the proposed in correspondence to this paradigm the formalized model reflects multi-component system, multi-variant approaches and cyclist of educational process in a modern society. The examples of educational processes which are modeled within the framework of proposed formalized model of education are presented.

Manifestations of emergent properties in stressed disordered materials are often the result of an interplay between strong perturbations in the stress field around defects. The collective response of a long-ranged correlated multi-component system is an ideal playing field for statistical physics. Hence, many aspects of such collective responses in widely spread length and energy scales can be addressed by the tools of statistical physics. In this theme issue, some of these aspects are treated from various angles of experiments, simulations and analytical methods, and connected together by their common base of complex-system dynamics. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Statistical physics of fracture and earthquakes’ .

The presented analytical consideration of tilting-pad bearings incorporates simultaneously the changes in viscosity (due to viscous dissipation) and in the nonambient inlet pressure (due to momentum depletion within the fore-region). The solution provides the following quantities: film temperature distributions, pressure distribution, maximum temperature of the pad, load capacity, friction force, coordinate of the center of pressure, and coordinate of the pivot point. Comparison with the case when the inlet pressure is assumed to be ambient indicates the significance of the pressure build-up in the fore-region.

Material removed by mechanical process inevitably causes surface or subsurface damage containing cracks, plastic scratch, residual stress or dislocations. In nano-abrasive jet polishing (NAJP) the material is removed by chemical impact reaction. The chemical impact reaction is validated by contrast experiment with traditional lap polishing process in which the material is mainly removed through mechanical process. Experiment results show the dependence of the abrasive particles on the choice of materials. Even if the abrasive particle and the workpiece are composed of similar components, the machining properties are remarkably different due to slight differences in their physical properties or crystallography etc. Plastic scratches on the sample which was polished by the traditional mechanical process are completely removed by NAJP process, and the surface root-square-mean roughness has decreased from 1.403nm to 0.611nm. The NAJP process will become a promising method for ultra precision machining method for ultrasmooth optical surface.
