...S. Wan, Research Fellow; G. C. Lim, Principle Research Fellow This paper presents an analysis of the transient flow, on pump shut-down, in abrasive suspension jet cutting machines as part of an effort to develop a fine-beam cutting system. The analysis was motivated by a need to clearly understand...

... occurs, the effect of temperature dependent thermal properties may become important. The full three-dimensional nonlinear transient heat conduction equation is solved numerically using a control volume approach to study these nonlinear effects on cutting tool temperatures. The extremely small size...

...Shiva Kalidas; Shiv G. Kapoor; Richard E. DeVor A finite element thermal model is devised to capture the transient temperatures in the workpiece in drilling. Experimental observations along with an inverse heat conduction procedure is utilized in identifying the strength of the heat fluxes from...
