Experimental work was performed according to Taguchi L27 orthogonal array by varying four parameters such as gas pressure, cutting speed, arc current and cutting height. Due to complexity of manufacturing process and aim to cover wide experimental space few constraints regarding cutting area were defined. Surface roughness parameters Ra and Rz were analysed as cut quality responses. In order to define mathematical model that will be able to describe effects of process parameters on surface roughness artificial intelligence (AI) fuzzy logic (FL) technique was applied. After functional relations between input parameters and surface roughness responses were defined prediction accuracy of developed fuzzy logic model was checked by comparison between experimental and predicted data. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) as well as coefficient of determination (R2) were used as validation measures. Finally, optimal process conditions that lead to minimal surface roughness were defined by creating response surface plots.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135953441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aims at a numerical investigation of the effects of low-energy shock wave therapy of various ranges on the mechanical behaviour of bone tissues, taking into account the physiological characteristics in the area of dental implant placement. Modelling was carried out using the method of movable cellular automata.

Studies of samples with coatings were performed (micro-grinding, coating hardness, determination of surface geometry after coating). The thickness of multilayer coatings is 1...2 microns. with coating hardness of 250-400 kg/mm2. The developed regimes ensure high adhesion and preservation of the hardness of steel DIN 1.2379 within the specified limits. Distortions of the geometry and roughness of the coated surfaces, compared to the condition before the coating, were not detected. Tribological tests of coated samples were carried out. All tested coatings were completely worn out when rubbing steel DIN 1.2379 at very low loads (max up to 300N, then the load did not increase). All coatings had a high coefficient of friction Kfr ≥ 0.15. The use of such coatings in tribocombinations with steel in the form of independent wear-resistant coatings is impractical. They can be considered as soft layers in the development of new structures of antifriction wear-resistant coatings to increase the performance of friction pairs in the \"coating-steel\" and \"coating-coating\" tribosystems.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135954333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three types of internal structures of dimples were tested: cylindrical, sphere and conical. The measurement results were simulated by the Reynolds equation. As the results, the load-carrying capacity increased as the rotational speed increased. The cylindrical internal structure built up the largest pressure at the trailing edge, and consequently the largest load-carrying capacity. The frictional torque also increased with increasing the rotational speed.

The concept of the coefficient of friction as a characteristic of the resistance to the movement of rubbing surfaces in a hidden form was formulated by Leonardo da Vinci: \"Each rubbing body exerts a friction resistance equal to one quarter of its weight, provided that the flat plane is in contact with the polished surface\". Two centuries later, the coefficient of friction appeared explicitly, in the form of a formula, in the works of G. Amontons. It is clear that the coefficient of friction is a convenient friction parameter, easily determined in the experiment. However, what is the physical meaning of resistance to the movement of rubbing surfaces? Modern engineering believes that the coefficient of friction has no physical meaning. Thermodynamic analysis of the friction process is performed. The evolutionary patterns of the behavior of the friction contact are shown. A structural-energy interpretation of the logic of the coefficient of friction (resistance) is proposed: accumulation of potential energy of defects in the crystal structure of the deformable volume by friction contact. The static potential energy of the formed defects in the crystal structure of the contact is a measure of the decrease in the kinetic energy of the relative motion of the rubbing surfaces. Such a formulation of resistance to movement under friction has a deep physical and clear meaning for a scientist and engineer. The substantiation of Leonardo da Vinci's formulation of friction that the friction resistance should be equal to 0.25 is given. The interpretation of this rule is given for the case of friction in mechanisms (machines).","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135953409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common but little-studied case is the combination of interaction, sliding and counter-pressure (collision) between plates and rock blocks, which develops specific deformations and energy and material changes. Above friction processes depend on the geometry, the spatial relations between the crustal plates, their material, especially rheological properties, and the energy transformations. The subduction zone has been regarded as place of renewal processes of energy and material. The role of the intensive friction processes in the increase of temperature and pressure in the subduction zone is shown, and the resulting both internal, external deformations and material changes of the rock material. A hypothesis is presented for the formation of the so-called \"Deformation Arc\" observed in the Alps, the Chilean segment of the Andes and the Nepalese zone.
