Industrial Accelerators – Beyond Transformers and Cyclotrons, More Power
Any device used in industrial applications requires simplicity, versatility, robustness and always – more power. To meet the first three of these requirements, “high power” industrial accelerators have been based on transformers or cyclotrons, but [...]
FE Simulation of material removal and surface properties for EDM during single and multiple spark occurrences
EDM represents an effective machining process for hard-to-machine materials. Although EDM has many advantages, it lacks well-developed technological base and level of fundamental understanding that characterizes other metal cutting technologies. This has limited the development [...]
Bearing life prediction on the basis of run-out using accelerated life testing coupled with numerical analysis
Wear is one of the most important factors affecting roller bearing performance and in determining bearing life-time. Bearing life has traditionally been defined by the onset of spalling (ISO 281), but this definition does not [...]
