Currently, only orthogonal cutting using a infrared camera allows the simultaneous measurement of temperature in different regions. Additionally, temperature measurement in certain regions is a challenge, for instance, in the chip/tool interface and inside the chip. The application of advanced sensors and the adaptation of well-established techniques in regions of difficult access, such as the chip-tool interface and the chip itself, have been the subject of research to allow the better understanding of the heat generation and temperature evolution during machining operations. This work investigates the application of the inserted thermocouple method to measure the temperature inside the chip during its formation, together with the tool-workpiece thermocouple method to compare the effect of the cutting parameters on both the chip-tool interface and chip temperature. Orthogonal cutting of AISI 1020 steel was performed using cemented tungsten carbide bits. The findings indicated that both methods were able to assess the influence of the investigated parameters and that temperature presented the same behavior, in spite of the differences in absolute values (higher temperatures were recorded using the tool-workpiece thermocouple). Temperature increased with cutting speed, decreased with the elevation of the undeformed chip thickness and was not affected by width of cut. The highest temperature (668 °C) was observed at the tool-workpiece interface using a cutting speed of 120 m/min, undeformed chip thickness of 0.1 mm and width of cut of 1.5 mm.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":553,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Techniques","volume":"48 6","pages":"1093 - 1100"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141773385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the frictional interaction between pant fabric and seat cover fabric in the presence of deformable material (human tissue and seat cushion) is essential to select optimal fabrics to reduce shear force and decrease PI risk. The objective of this work was to evaluate the coefficients of friction between five pant fabrics and two seat covers using human subjects and a novel experimental setup. This experimental set up created a system where participants were able to slide across a seat pan. Shear forces required to pull the participants as well as the normal force on the seat pan were collected for twelve participants. The coefficient of friction was calculated using the force balance from these experimental data sets. The coefficient of friction was higher with the vinyl seat cover common on wheelchairs (0.503–0.572) compared to the office seat cover (0.336–0.448) with all pant fabrics. Furthermore, with the office cover, a substantial drop was observed in the coefficient of friction after sliding, which differed from the vinyl seat cover. This study developed a methodology to study friction behavior at the human-seat interface and quantified coefficients of friction between pant fabrics and two common types of seat covers. It provides a method by which realistic situational shear forces can be studied, as they are a risk factor for PI formation in wheelchair users.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":553,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Techniques","volume":"48 6","pages":"1065 - 1075"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141610137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
