An effective way of processing difficult-to-machine materials is ultrasonic cutting, which is carried out by applying ultrasonic vibrations to the movement of the cutter and contributes to a significant reduction in cutting force and increase processing productivity. The article presents the results of research on the efficiency of using a new device for ultrasonic cutting with an electrostrictive vibrating drive. The source of ultrasonic vibrations is an electrostrictive vibratory drive, which provides oscillations in the range of 10 - 20 kHz with amplitude of 10 - 15 microns. Experimental studies have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed design of the toolholder to transmit the wave of ultrasonic vibrations almost perpendicular to the axis of the vibratory drive, which allows you to unload the vibrating drive from the cutting force and use vibration pulses only to deform elastic elements by the amplitude of ultrasonic vibrations. The device provides conditions for processing of difficult-to-process materials, allows increasing accuracy of processing of details, to reduce roughness of the processed surfaces and to increase productivity of processing.

AbstractThis paper presents experimental studies on the optimization of air–water flow in an airlift pump. Airlift pumps use compressed gas to verticall transport liquids and slurries. Due to the lack of theoretical equations for designing and predicting flow regimes, experimental investigations must be carried out to find the best condition to operate an airlift pump at high efficiency. We used a new air injection system and different submergence ratios to evaluate the output of a simple pump for vertical displacement of water in an underground mine. The tests were carried out in a new device with 5.64 m height and 10.2 cm circular riser pipe. Three air-jacket pipes, at different gas flows in the range of 0.002–0.09 m3/s were investigated with eight submergence ratios. It was found that with the same air flow rate, the most efficient flow of water was achieved when an air jacket with 3 mm diameter holes was used with a submergence ratio between 0.6 and 0.75. In addition, a comparison of practical results with two theoretical models proposed by other investigators showed that neither was able to accurately predict airlift performance in air–water flow mode.

The drive of this research is to examine the machinability of 100Cr6 bearing steel using advanced C-type cutting tools. Experimental studies investigated the effects of machining variables on the surface quality, chip reduction coefficient and cutting force. Seven advanced coated tools were checked for characterization by micro hardness (VHN), adhesion quality, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The experimental trials were planned by Taguchi’s L18 orthogonal array using a mixed-level design. Two numerical machining variables feed rate and cutting speed, and one categorical machining variable tool type was taken into consideration while a constant depth of cut was kept for all trails. A combined Taguchi-Satisfaction function distance measure approach was implemented for multi-response optimization. The most promising machining parameter setting for minimization of surface roughness, cutting force, and chip reduction coefficient was identified. The most important process parameter was found to be tool-type. Ceramics tools are found to be best trailed by WC coated tools under most of the conditions. Lower tool wear was observed in the CBN tool as compared to others.

Abstract. Ultrasound-assisted cutting has been used to cut materials with high precision, improved quality and reduced cutting forces. The research objective was to investigate the effects of high-frequency vibrations on the cutting force and cutting energy of switchgrass and miscanthus stems. Laboratory experiments were conducted on individual biomass stems at cutting speeds between 3 and 400 mm/s. An experimental cutting system with an ultrasound generator, an ultrasonic blade, a load cell, and a data acquisition system was developed. The custom designed blade was 5-cm wide and vibrated at 19.551 kHz with 2.8 µm tip vibration amplitude. There were significant measured differences in the cutting forces and cutting energies between conventional cutting and ultrasonic cutting of switchgrass and miscanthus stems (p < 0.05). These results suggest that the use of high-frequency vibrations reduce cutting force and cutting energy of both switchgrass and miscanthus stems. Ultrasound-assisted cutting reduced the cutting energy of switchgrass by 66.85% at 100 mm/s and miscanthus by 80.58% at 30 mm/s. However, ultrasonic cutting did not have a significant effect on the cutting force and cutting energy when the cutting speed was equal to or greater than the blade tip vibration speed. The results of this research should be useful for adapting the ultrasonic technology in biomass harvesting, particle size reduction, and processing equipment. Keywords: Biomass, Blades, Energy, Finite element analysis, Miscanthus, Switchgrass, Ultrasonics.

The paper shows that conventional mathematical models for calculating the cutting force components during the turning process, represented in reference guides on engineering, give drastic errors reaching 100 percent or more for various tool-workpiece couples. These errors interfere with applying reference values of the cutting force for any further calculations, equipment selection, workpiece positioning scheme, workpiece deformation value due to the elastic of the technological system elements during processing and etc., because of the insufficient reliability of the results of such calculations. The paper proposes mathematical models obtained as a result of experimental studies, which allow for increasing the accuracy of the calculation of the components of the cutting force by introducing an additional parameter – i.e., the value of thermo EMF of the test running into the calculation formulas. This approach enables to reduce the error in the calculation of the components of the cutting force up to ± 15%. In addition, the need for the development of specific mathematical models for various groups of materials machined is shown, which is due to the peculiarities of contact processes in the machining of various groups of steels, as well as to qualitative and quantitative indicators of the thermo-physical properties of the materials of tool-workpiece contact couples.

It has been determined that the reduction of siltation of the front chamber is necessary because the deposited sediments seriously violate the planned hydraulic structure of the flow when water is sucked up by pumps, as a result of which their efficiency decreases. The method of calculating the pipeline system of a new device designed to significantly reduce the siltation of the front chamber of irrigation pumping stations by artificially creating turbulence in the water flow in the bottom layer of the structure is presented. This calculation methodology is based on the use of the theory of flooded water jets, which makes it possible to determine the main characteristics of the jet. The latter allows calculating the design parameters of the pipeline system. The results of experimental studies are presented to compare the calculated data with the results of experiments, as well as to determine the effectiveness of the proposed device for a significant reduction in siltation of the front chamber of irrigation pumping stations.

The disc-cutter is a finishing tool for the ultrasonic-cutting of paper honeycomb-core material. The cutting state directly affects the machining accuracy and surface quality of the workpiece. The cutting force is an important physical quantity and the cause of ultrasonic cutting defects of the honeycomb-core material. Due to differences in the mechanical properties and cutting performance of honeycomb-core materials and commonly used metal materials, existing metal-cutting-force models cannot be applied to the calculation of ultrasonic cutting forces in the processing of honeycomb-core materials. In response to this problem—combined with actual working conditions using the ABAQUS finite element analysis software—a finite element simulation model of the ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting force of the disc-cutter on the honeycomb-core material was established, and the cutting curves and values were obtained. The experiment of ultrasonic vibration cutting of the disc-cutter proves that from the surface morphology of the honeycomb core, the milling-width has the greatest influence on the cutting force, and the cutting-depth has the smallest influence on the cutting force. The maximum error between the cutting force experimental results and the finite element simulation results under the same cutting conditions was 13.2%, which means that the established cutting-force finite element model is more accurate and can be used to predict the cutting in honeycomb ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting-force value. Finally, based on the response surface method, a three-dimensional cutting force prediction model of the ultrasonic cutting honeycomb core of the disc-cutter was established by using the simulation model data. The results of this study can provide a useful basis for the improvement of cutting performance and processing efficiency in the processing of paper honeycomb-core materials.
