Metal bond grinding wheels can retain their shape and size under extreme grinding conditions. On the other hand, it is difficult to true them accurately and efficiently due to the severe wear of truing tools. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a new truing device based on electro-contact discharge machining. The device is designed so that the position of the electrode working face remains unchanged even if the electrode is worn. Some truing experiments were carried out using a prototype truing device for a metal bond diamond wheel of grain size #1000 under dry conditions. As a result, relatively high truing accuracy has been achieved in combination with an additional truing by a GC stone.

Monolayer brazed diamond wheel were used to grind AlSiC composite with different volume fraction of SiC. The effects of diamond mesh size of the grinding wheels and the volume fraction of SiC in AlSiC composite on the surface integrity of ground AlSiC composite were investigated. It is found that the surface roughness of ground AlSiC composite with 20% SiC is increased with the reduction of diamond grit’s size because of the clogging of diamond wheel. With the increasing of the volume fraction of SiC, there are more fractured and cracked SiC particles on the ground surface of AlSiC composite. On the other hand, the finer diamond grits (70/80) induce the finer fractured SiC particles on the ground surface of AlSiC with 50% and 70% SiC.

In this paper, a novel conditioning technique features using copper bonded diamond grinding wheels of 91μm grain size assisted with ELID (electrolytic in-process dressing) as a conditioner to precisely and effectively condition nickel electroplated monolayer coarse-grained diamond grinding wheels of 151μm grain size was firstly developed. Under optimised conditioning parameters, the super abrasive diamond wheel was well conditioned in terms of a minimized run-out error and flattened diamond grain surfaces of constant peripheral envelope, with the conditioning force monitored by a force transducer as well as the modified wheel surface status in-situ monitored by a coaxial optical distance measurement system. Finally the grinding experiment on BK7 was conducted using the well conditioned wheel with the corresponding surface morphology and subsurface damage measured by AFM (atomic force microscope) and SEM (scanning electron microscope) respectively. The experimental result shows that the newly developed conditioning technique is applicable and feasible to ductile grinding optical glass featuring nano scale surface roughness, indicating a prospect of introducing super abrasive diamond wheels into ductile machining of brittle materials.

The values obtained by two new methods of measuring grinding-wheel hardness are critically compared for a variety of surface grinding wheels of different grain size and vitreous bond content. The two methods are found to agree quite well in their ability to distinguish wheels of different commercial hardness. One method is dynamic, easily applied in the workshop, somewhat more complex to analyze. The other method is quasi-static, and capable of yielding a more complete picture in research studies of grinding-wheel hardness through statistical analysis of the results obtained. It would appear that both methods represent a distinct step forward in grinding-wheel technology and that each is of value in its own sphere of application.

In this paper, two metal-bonded diamond wheels with different porosity were fabricated. The porosity of diamond wheel without additives of pore inducers is 7% and the wheel with pore inducers is 38%. Grinding experiments with these two grinding wheels on marbles were carried out under different grinding conditions. Experimental results revealed that highly porous grinding wheel has smaller grinding forces and better self-sharpening ability than the compact grinding wheel under the same grinding conditions.

The pore spaces in sandstones are the result of the original depositional fabric and the degree of post-depositional alteration that the rock has experienced. The largest pore volumes are present in coarse-grained, well-sorted materials with high sphericity. The chief mechanisms which alter the shape and size of the pores are precipitation of cementing agents and the dissolution of soluble components. Each process may operate alone or in combination with the other, or there may be several generations of cementation and solution.The scanning electron microscope has ‘been used in this study to reveal the morphology of the pore spaces in a variety of moderate porosity, orthoquartzites.

This paper proposes an object classification method using a flexion glove and machine learning. The classification is performed based on the information obtained from a single grasp on a target object. The flexion glove is developed with five flex sensors mounted on five finger sleeves, and is used for measuring the flexion of individual fingers while grasping an object. Flexion signals are divided into three phases, and they are the phases of picking, holding and releasing, respectively. Grasping features are extracted from the phase of holding for training the support vector machine. Two sets of objects are prepared for the classification test. One is printed-object set and the other is daily-life object set. The printed-object set is for investigating the patterns of grasping with specified shape and size, while the daily-life object set includes nine objects randomly chosen from daily life for demonstrating that the proposed method can be used to identify a wide range of objects. According to the results, the accuracy of the classifications are achieved 95.56% and 88.89% for the sets of printed objects and daily-life objects, respectively. A flexion glove which can perform object classification is successfully developed in this work and is aimed at potential grasp-to-see applications, such as visual impairment aid and recognition in dark space.

AbstractThis investigation is carried out to understand the effects of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hybrid phenol formaldehyde (PF) composite fabricated with Areca Fine Fibres (AFFs) and Calotropis Gigantea Fibre (CGF). Hybrid CGF/AFF/PF composites were manufactured using the hand layup technique at varying weight percentages of fibre reinforcement (25, 35 and 45%). Hybrid composite having 35 wt.% showed better mechanical properties (tensile strength ca. 59 MPa, flexural strength ca. 73 MPa and impact strength 1.43 kJ/m2) under wet and dry conditions as compared to the other hybrid composites. In general, the inclusion of the fibres enhanced the mechanical properties of neat PF. Increase in the fibre content increased the water absorption, however, after 120 h of immersion, all the composites attained an equilibrium state.

The zirconia parts are limited by machined surface quality. The grinding force is one of the most important parameters of grinding and has effects on surface quality. The MK2710 grinder and resin bond diamond wheels were used in zirconia grinding. The grinding force was obtained by Kistler dynamometer. The paper focused on wheel speed and grain size on grinding force, and examined the surface by SEM. The research results indicated that decreasing the grain size, the grinding force increased and the surface quality improved, and increasing wheel speed could decrease grinding force to improve grinding surface quality. The results can improve zirconia ceramic parts surface quality and promote application.

The present work concerns the simulation of metallurgical evolutions in 3D multi-pass forming processes. In this context, the analyzed problem is twofold. One point refers to the management of the microstructure evolution during each pass or each inter-pass period and the other point concerns the management of the multi-pass aspects (different grain categories, data structure). In this framework, a model is developed and deals with both aspects. The model considers the microstructure as a composite made of a given (discretized) number of phases which have their own specific properties. The grain size distribution and the recrystallized volume fraction distribution of the different phases evolve continuously during a pass or inter-pass period. With this approach it is possible to deal with the heterogeneity of the microstructure and its evolution in multi-pass conditions. Both dynamic and static recrystallization phenomena are taken into account, with typical Avrami-type equations. The present model is implemented in the Finite Element code FORGE2005®. 3D numerical simulation results for a multi-pass process are presented.

Abstract. The most commonly used relationship relates permeability to porosity, grain size, and tortuosity is Kozeny–Carman formalism. When it is used to estimate the permeability behavior versus porosity, the other two parameters (the grain size and tortuosity) are usually kept constant. Here, we investigate the deficiency of the Kozeny–Carman assumption and offer alternative derived equations for the Kozeny–Carman equation, including equations where the grain size is replaced with the pore size and with varying tortuosity. We also introduced relationships for the permeability of shaly sand reservoir that answer the approximately linear permeability decreases in the log-linear permeability-porosity relationships in datasets from different locations.
