The article focuses on a new way to solve the problem of cutting processing due to the appearance of a wide range of super hard and hard-to-machine structural materials for aircraft, automobile, ship and engine construction, as well as for spacecraft, medi cine (orthopedics, dentistry), nuclear and military equipment. Such materials have an organized regular structure, high strength, super hardness. As a result, there is a problem of defect-free machining of these materials without damaging their balanced structure. The article describes a new approach and formulates innovative principles for creating a new class of mechatronic technological systems for precision machining of parts made of these materials using the example of drilling small diameter deep holes. The core of the mechatronic technological system is a mechatronic parametric stabilizer of the power load on the cutting tool. The mechatronic tech nological system provides a program task, automatic stabilization and maintenance in the tracking mode of the power load on the cutting tool with “disturbance control”. For example, in the technological cycle of drilling small diameter holes, such a system pro tects the drill bits from breakage. An integrated technological system is proposed with the following three levels of control: intelli gent (upper), adaptive (middle) and robust (lower). The basis of the multi-level system is a high-speed robust automatic control sys tem “by the disturbance”. The disturbance is the load torque, which is either automatically stabilized, or tracked when setting a pro gram from a computer, or changes according to the program that sets the mechatronic technological system the functioning (opera tion) algorithm. This algorithm can vary widely with different methods of machining parts by cutting (grinding), including shaping free 3D surfaces according to their digital models. The mechatronic technological system proposed is easily integrated into the cut ting (grinding) system of CNC machines, expanding their capabilities by transferring the standard control program of the CNC to a higher level of the control hierarchy. This allows machining any complex-shaped parts, including “double curvature” parts, namely impellers, turbine blades, rowing screws, etc.

Key parts of the main equipment in a gas turbine may likely be damaged due to operation under high temperature, high pressure, high-speed rotation, etc. Accordingly, the cost for maintenance increases and the damaged parts may cause generation to stop. The surface of a blade is thermal-sprayed, using powder with main compositions such as Ni , Cr , Al , etc, in order to inhibit hot oxidation. Conventional regular maintenance of the coating layer of a blade is made by FPI (Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection) and MTP (Magnetic Particle Testing). Such methods, however, are complicated and take a long time and also require high cost. In this study, defect diagnostics were tested on the coating layer of an industrial gas turbine blade, using an infrared thermography camera. Since the infrared thermography method can check a temperature distribution by means of non-contact on a wide range of areas, it can advantageously save expense and time as compared to conventional test methods. For the infrared thermography method, however, thermo-load must be applied onto a tested specimen and it is difficult to quantify the measured data. To solve the problems, this paper includes description about producing a specimen of a gas turbine blade (bucket), applying thermo-load onto the produced specimen, photographing thermography images by an infrared thermography camera, analyzing the thermography images, and pre-testing to analyze defects on the coating layer of the gas turbine blade.

To prevent or minimize the erosion of the last row rotor blades in large high-speed steam turbines it has been proposed to remove the film of water on the surfaces of the last row stator blades before it reaches the trailing edges and is swept off by the steam drag into the path of the rotor blades. The paper describes experiments with a cascade of hollow stator blades with various dispositions of slots providing communication from the blade surfaces to the hollow cavity. The same cascade was used in turn with three different wet air tunnels, the experiments thus covering a wide range of Mach number and Reynolds number. With suitably disposed slots, and bleeding a very small proportion of the working fluid, about 90 per cent of the deleterious water can be removed, thus preventing it from striking the moving blades.

In this experimental work, the pressure distribution was measured in a rotating, partially shrouded, open, radial impeller, inlet diffuser and volute under a wide range of air-water two-phase flow conditions. To obtain these pressure measurements, small-diameter pressure-tap holes were drilled through the casing of the radial pump. High speed photography was the vehicle to determine the flow regime of the air-water mixture through the vane and in the volute. An analytical model was developed to predict the radial pump single- and two-phase flow pressure distributions. The distribution for the latter was compared with the test data for different suction void fractions. The physical mechanism responsible for pump performance degradation was also investigated.

The CNC machining is performed according to a pre-prepared control program (CP). The CP records all the necessary actions of the machine to obtain the part by metalworking in accordance with the requirements of the drawing according to the developed technology. Precise formation of surface dimensions during machining is performed by a cutting tool, the trajectory of which is recorded in the CP. In real conditions, during CNC machining, errors may occur, the size and direction of which depend on many factors, which are difficult to anticipate. For example, the occurrence of dimensional variations is affected by the real technical condition and setting of the technological system of the CNC machine, elastic deformations of system elements from cutting forces, thermal deformations, etc. The value and direction of elastic deformations of the machine are influenced by the cutting forces, size and direction of which depend on the processing modes, the shape and size of the workpiece, the material of the tool cutting part and the material of detail. There are known methods of accounting for the expected processing errors in the calculation of trajectories of tools in the presence of data on the flexibility of the technological system of CNC machine. Such data can be obtained as a result of studies of the flexibility of machine tool elements when simulating workloads. To perform tests to determine the elastic deformations of a technological system in production conditions, a device has been developed to simulate working loads in a wide range and various places in the working area of ​​CNC machine. The device contains a loaded shaft with replaceable bushings on which annular contact grooves are made. The configuration of the device is assembled taking into account the design features of the CNC machine and the assigned research tasks. According to the control program or manual control, simulation forces are created by a load device with poppet springs installed in the cutter holder of the machine. Strain value is measured by linear displacement meter. The obtained data allow you to determine the stiffness of the machine elements and give a forecast for the amount of expected dimensional errors during processing.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.

ABSTRACT Introduction Open-globe ocular injuries have increased in frequency in recent combat operations due to increased use of explosive weaponry. Unfortunately, open-globe injuries have one of the worst visual outcomes for the injured warfighter, often resulting in permanent loss of vision. To improve visual recovery, injuries need to be stabilized quickly following trauma, in order to restore intraocular pressure and create a watertight seal. Here, we assess four off-the-shelf (OTS), commercially available tissue adhesives for their ability to seal military-relevant corneal perforation injuries (CPIs). Materials and Methods Adhesives were assessed using an anterior segment inflation platform and a previously developed high-speed benchtop corneal puncture model, to create injuries in porcine eyes. After injury, adhesives were applied and injury stabilization was assessed by measuring outflow rate, ocular compliance, and burst pressure, followed by histological analysis. Results Tegaderm dressings and Dermabond skin adhesive most successfully sealed injuries in preliminary testing. Across a range of injury sizes and shapes, Tegaderm performed well in smaller injury sizes, less than 2 mm in diameter, but inadequately sealed large or complex injuries. Dermabond created a watertight seal capable of maintaining ocular tissue at physiological intraocular pressure for almost all injury shapes and sizes. However, application of the adhesive was inconsistent. Histologically, after removal of the Dermabond skin adhesive, the corneal epithelium was removed and oftentimes the epithelium surface penetrated into the wound and was adhered to inner stromal tissue. Conclusions Dermabond can stabilize a wide range of CPIs; however, application is variable, which may adversely impact the corneal tissue. Without addressing these limitations, no OTS adhesive tested herein can be directly translated to CPIs. This highlights the need for development of a biomaterial product to stabilize these injuries without causing ocular damage upon removal, thus improving the poor vision prognosis for the injured warfighter.

Vibration properties of high-speed rotating and revolving planet rings with discrete and partially distributed stiffnesses were studied. The governing equations were obtained by Hamilton’s principle based on a rotating frame on the ring. The governing equations were cast in matrix differential operators and discretized, using Galerkin’s method. The eigenvalue problem was dealt with state space matrix, and the natural frequencies and vibration modes were computed in a wide range of rotation speed. The properties of natural frequencies and vibration modes with rotation speed were studied for free planet rings and planet rings with discrete and partially distributed stiffnesses. The influences of several parameters on the vibration properties of planet rings were also investigated. Finally, the forced responses of planet rings resulted from the excitation of rotating and revolving movement were studied. The results show that the revolving movement not only affects the free vibration of planet rings but results in excitation to the rings. Partially distributed stiffness changes the vibration modes heavily compared to the free planet ring. Each vibration mode comprises several nodal diameter components instead of a single component for a free planet ring. The distribution area and the number of partially distributed stiffnesses mainly affect the high-order frequencies. The forced responses caused by revolving movement are nonlinear and vary with a quasi-period of rotating speed, and the responses in the regions supported by partially distributed stiffnesses are suppressed.

Glasses, in their different forms and compositions, have special properties that are not found in other materials. The combination of transparency and hardness at room temperature, combined with a suitable mechanical strength and excellent chemical durability, makes this material indispensable for many applications in different technological fields (as, for instance, the optical fibres which constitute the physical carrier for high-speed communication networks as well as the transducer for a wide range of high-performance sensors). For its part, ion-exchange from molten salts is a well-established, low-cost technology capable of modifying the chemical-physical properties of glass. The synergy between ion-exchange and glass has always been a happy marriage, from its ancient historical background for the realisation of wonderful artefacts, to the discovery of novel and fascinating solutions for modern technology (e.g., integrated optics). Getting inspiration from some hot topics related to the application context of this technique, the goal of this critical review is to show how ion-exchange in glass, far from being an obsolete process, can still have an important impact in everyday life, both at a merely commercial level as well as at that of frontier research.
