In order to study the disc cutter cutting performance and the cutters combination feature and to explore a new high-efficiency breaking method in hard rock environment, a new multifunction disc cutter test device plan is established and carried out based on the analysis of relevant research and test equipment at home and abroad. The test device consists of a vertical loading mechanism, a longitudinal cutting mechanism, a shock loading mechanism and a control system, etc. It can be used to conduct not only single test such as cutting under static load, fragmentation under impact load, indentation test under static load and wear test of the disc cutter, but also combined cutting test under impact and static load. At last, granite was cut on this test device by the TBM disc cutter under different loads, the results are desirable and show that the test machine can provide the relevant test conditions and the basic data for the design of the TBM disc cutter.

The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) tunneling process always contains a certain degree of vibrations due to the step broken phenomenon of the cutting tools. Undoubtedly, there is a quite difference in the fragment characteristics which are related to the construction efficiency of TBM under the static load and the combination of static and impact load. In this study, a series of rock breaking tests with a 216 mm diameter disc cutter and marble samples were conducted under different load cases. Based on the Rosin–Rammler distribution curve, the fragments from the cutting tests were also sieved to calculate the absolute size constant (x’) and coarseness index (CI). The relationship between coarseness index, absolute size parameter and the cutting parameters, specific energy, production rate was evaluated. The results show that there is an increasing trend of x’ and CI with the increase of cut spacing and penetration as well as adding impact load component. An overall downtrend in specific energy and upward trend in production rate which are associated with the high efficiency can be observed with the increasing CI and x’. It is believed that the conclusions are of great significance for improving TBM construction efficiency and cutterhead design.

To choose the proper material for agricultural machinery we tested several materials with abrasive cloth on the pin-on-plate test device. After having the pre-results, we launched more complex abrasive testing (slurry-pot) simulating more realistic mode with soils to investigate the abrasive wear mechanism and resistance of the selected up-to-date polymeric structural materials. for this, we developed a modified slurry-pot test machine that ensures the comparability of the materials over a wide range of conditions. Through this device, several parameters could be controlled like speed, the soil particle’s hit angle on the tested surface.

It was suggested to use group D engine oil with advanced properties instead of group V and G engine oils, which are used in locomotive diesel engines today, to improve the performance of the Ukrainian locomotive fleet of railways.A series of comparative laboratory studies of these oil groups was conducted to substantiate this suggestion which proved better lubrication and tribological performance of group D engine oil and allowed its performance tests.Tests conducted on diesel 5D49 for mileage of more then 100,000 km have demonstrated the advantages of group D oils, such as more stable viscosity, neutralizing ,washing and other properties. Studies on the four-ball wear test machine proved better anti-wear, anti-scoring and anti-friction properties of group D engine oil, which appear even after the continuous use of oils in locomotive diesels. Decrease in burning loss of engine oil was recorded, resulting in the decrease of oil fuel consumption for group D by 30-60% vs. the group G oil.According to the results of performance tests, group D engine oil has been recommended for the use in 5D49 locomotive diesels and some advice on its future implementation have been provided.

The Impact

By using the ABAQUS finite element (FE) model, which has been verified by experiments, the deformation and internal force changes of RC columns during the impact process are investigated, and a parametric analysis is conducted under different impact kinetic energies Ek. According to the development path of the bottom bending moment-column top displacement curve under impact, the member is in a slight damage state when the curve rebounds before reaching the peak and in a moderate or severe damage state when the curve exceeds the peak, in which case the specific damage state of the member needs to be determined by examining whether there is a secondary descending stage in the curve. Accordingly, a qualitative method for evaluating the bending failure of RC column members under impact is obtained. In addition, the damage state of RC columns under impact can also be quantitatively evaluated by the ratio of the equivalent static load Feq and the ultimate static load-bearing capacity Fsu.

Fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming important in many areas of technological application. In addition to the static load, such structures may be stressed with short-term dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Impact loading of structural components produces a complex process, where both the characteristics of the design itself and the material parameters influence the resultant behavior. It is clear that fibre reinforced concrete has a positive impact on increasing of the resistance to impact loads. Results of two different impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this report.

C/SiC composites are the preferred materials for hot-end structures and other important components of aerospace vehicles. It is important to reveal the material removal mechanism of ultrasound vibration-assisted grinding for realizing low damage and high efficiency processing of C/SiC composites. In this paper, a single abrasive particle ultrasound vibration cutting test was carried out. The failure modes of SiC matrix and carbon fiber under ordinary cutting and ultrasound cutting conditions were observed and analyzed. With the help of ultrasonic energy, compared with ordinary cutting, under the conditions of ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding, the grinding force is reduced to varying degrees, and the maximum reduction ratio reaches about 60%, which means that ultrasonic vibration is beneficial to reduce the grinding force. With the observation of cutting debris, it is found that the size of debris is not much affected by the a p with ultrasound vibration. Thus, the ultrasound vibration-assisted grinding method is an effective method to achieve low damage and high efficiency processing of C/SiC composites.

Material damage caused by fretting wear is of significant concern in many engineering applications. This paper describes the design and performance of a new machine for the laboratory investigation of fretting wear under oscillating normal force (fretting mode II). The test machine uses an electromagnetic actuator to impose an oscillating normal force between the contacting bodies at a constant force amplitude over a wide range of frequencies. The principle of the actuation mechanism and the fretting wear induced with this particular wear test configuration are outlined in detail. Normal force and electrical contact resistance were measured on-line during fretting mode II wear tests. The performance of the wear test machine is illustrated by data obtained for different materials combinations, namely, hard materials, such as high-speed steel and (Ti,Al)N coatings oscillating against alumina ball counterbodies, and soft materials, such as a tin coating oscillating against the same. In general, wearing of the counterbodies was observed in the slip region. It has been observed that hard coatings and bulk ceramics are prone to fretting fatigue cracking. The evolution of electrical contact resistance in the case of the self-mated soft tin coatings tested under fretting mode II conditions is also reported.

In The Beginning

Abstract It is believed that the concepts and data presented here are not only useful for the design and application of urethane foam for bumpers, but demonstrate the inherent fitness of the material for this purpose. To review quickly the factors listed in the beginning of the paper: 1. Urethane-faced bumpers will not only prevent damage to the bumper or vehicle, but will eliminate or minimize damage to the object impacted. 2. Repeated tests at severe overloads have demonstrated the recoverability of the foam after repeated impacts. 3. High hysteresis of urethane results in minimum rebound. 4. The material is velocity responsive within the specification range. 5. A wide variety of usable arrangements plus ready moldability provide considerable styling freedom. 6. Temperature compensation features assure designable performance consistency. 7. High efficiency or form factor is achievable, resulting in minimum force and stroke. 8. No maintenance is required. 9. Urethane microcellular foam is among the lower cost plastic materials on a per pound basis. Low densities and discreet placement can result in very competitive systems. Steel stroking bumpers are designed to ward off blows with emphasis on protection of the vehicle on which they are mounted. As a result, they present a far more hostile motoring environment than ever before for anything or anyone except another similar bumper. Urethane bumpers have a great potential for creating a far less hostile environment for everyone and everything, including fronts and rears of current vehicles, sides of all vehicles, other objects, pedestrians, and occupants. The current specification severely inhibits the realization of that potential. Doing anything about it is no easy matter since it could easily lead into a specification of horrendous complexity. However, following is one suggested approach. In testing for occupant protection, a manikin or dummy is selected as a representative test device. It is by no means truly interchangeable with the real thing or all situations, but does provide a firm and representative means for reasonable evaluation and standardization. In like manner, it would be possible to select a reasonably typical front or rear current-model configuration to serve as a representative test device on the face of the pendulum, and simply specify “no damage to the test device” rather than “no contact to specified planes”. A manufacturer could be contracted with by the government to produce identical test devices for all who wished to run such tests. Such a specification could be amended to the current specification as an alternate, rather than attempting to revise what is already an excellent document for the steel stroking bumper.
