Abstract: Minimizing energy consumption in the processing of parts on metal-cutting equipment is most effective at the stage of designing the content of operations. Important in this process is the precise determination of the initial parameters - cutting forces. This parameter allows you to plan both energy consumption and perform additional calculations for the deformation of the tooling and workpiece in order to predict the geometric accuracy of the machined part. The article presents the results of experiments on measuring the circumferential cutting force during milling operations of an aluminum alloy workpiece with an end mill. The measurements were carried out by an indirect method - by recording the electrical power on the spindle and then calculating the circumferential cutting force. Theoretical analysis of the methods of calculation of cutting forces showed significant differences between the results obtained by domestic methods and recommendations of world manufacturers of cutting tools. Statistical analysis of the results of calculations based on reference data and measurements made it possible to assess the adequacy of the known methods for calculating cutting forces in order to minimize energy consumption in operations of processing parts on metal-cutting equipment

Abstract: To unravel the flow and heat transfer mechanism of the cavity in supersonic combustion, this paper studied the interaction of cavities and shear-layers by experiments and numerical simulation. The experiments of Nero-particle Plane Laser Scatter (NPLS) and Plane Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) were conducted to study the cavity shear-layer. In the same supersonic condition the flow was studied by the method of Large Eddy Simulation (LES). And we discussed the cavity shear-layer influence to supersonic flow and combustion, analyzed the evolvement of injection shear-layer, probed into the heat transfer of supersonic combustion, and studied the transpiration cooling of cavities. The results show: in supersonic combustion, the initial flame spreads to the upstream through the cavity shear layer, the highest wall temperature occur at the rear edge of cavity, and transpiration cooling can effectively protect the wall materials.

Abstract: A new type of similarity subgrid-scale (SGS) model which based on energy and dissipative scale isotropy assumption is presented. This model combines the advantages of traditional Smagorinsky SGS model with similarity SGS model. And a two-dimensional shear layer flow is simulated using refined grid result as a standard and comparing witch LES method including multiple SGS models. The results indicate that the result of SIM model much approximates to refined grid result than other SGS models.

Abstract: Based on the open-jet aero-acoustic wind tunnel, an experimental study was made to research the effects of the jet-flow on sound propagation. This study is focused on the changes of the direction of the sound propagation, the changes of the sound pressure level, the phenomenon of tone broadening and the availability of the existing prediction method for sound propagation in jet-flow. The results indicate that the influence of the jet-flow on the value of the noise source shift varies along the direction of the jet-flow and there is no regular influence on the sound pressure level. In addition, the flow around the test sample has affected the sound propagation, and the phenomenon of tone broadening exists when high frequency signal is used. The study also reveals the limitation of the application of the existing prediction method, because the model it used is too simple.

Abstract: The mechanics of metal flow through long choked die channels have been investigated in unlubricated hot aluminum extrusion. Experiments were performed in a laboratory press at an earlier occasion by letting a grid pattern introduced into the billet flow down into the choked die channel to appear adjacent to the channel wall. The grid pattern was then revealed to characterize the metal flow in the channel. A 2D-model of the extrusion process was made. The model was applied to study the conditions in the extrusion experiments and in this model good similarity was obtained with the experiment. New knowledge regarding the metal flow through a choked die channel have been obtained this way, such as; contact conditions, presence of sticking and sliding zones, friction conditions in the sliding contact zone and the velocity profile over the cross-section of the channel.

Abstract: Knowledge on the contact condition at the tool/workpiece interface is essential for understanding many aspects of FSW. In the present study, FSW experiments were conducted using aluminium alloys followed by metallographic examination focusing on the tool shoulder-workpiece interface region. It was observed that an interfacial intermetallic layer and hence metallurgical sticking/soldering readily formed. Temperature measurements have suggested the presence of interface liquid, hence suggesting a mechanical sliding contact condition dominant. This has been supported by the observation on material flow within the shear layer.
