Introduction With the rapid advancement of the micro-nano technology, micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) characterized by small size and shape has become an emerging technology, but the fabrication of micro machining tools for the micro components made of brittle materials is one of the difficulties restricting the advance of MEMS.
Using this characteristic, called the ER or MR effect, to control the mechanical properties, the clutches, dampers, seals and composite beams have been applied in engineering successfully [1,2].
The removal depth (about 0.48µm) at the diamond size of 125µm reduces by a factor of about 10 than that of 5µm.
The abrasive content dispersed in the EMR fluid determines the concentration of the abrasives in the EMR-effect-based tiny-grinding wheel and affects the chains of the EMR particles, then directly influences the polishing performance of the tiny-grinding wheel.
Therefore, the presence of the diamond abrasive can enhance the removal ability of the tiny-grinding wheel, and an appropriate concentration of the diamond abrasive can affect the structure and the effective machining size of the tiny-grinding wheel, whereas too much diamond abrasives have little effect on the polishing performance of the tiny-grinding wheel.

Change in structural properties due to damage subsequently affects the dynamic behavior of structures.
Forisomes exert similar mechanical forces in expansion and contraction with a minimum of 0.10N.
In 1880, Jacques and Pierre Curie discovered an unusual phenomenon in certain crystals that exhibit output voltage when exposed to mechanical tension and compression, and experience mechanical strain if exposed to an electric field.
Given that piezo fibers are now manufactured in flexible shapes, as shown in Fig. 5, then they can be bent, flexed even over 200 million cycles without degradation in their properties.
This network can be used to find out system parameters and unknown factors through the training process, which means it achieves the goal of system identification.

Even though the presence of damage is generally accounted for, at the design stage, by the use of very conservative safety factors [4], more advanced damage tolerance concepts [5] are being gradually incorporated in the design process of critical elements of composite blades, so as to take full advantage of the weight-saving potentiality offered by sandwich materials.
Stress-based failure criteria and a sudden property degradation strategy were adopted in [15] to simulate the damage induced by low-velocity impact on the glass-fibre woven skins of sandwich beams.

Boyano et al. [12] prepared the catalysts of V2O5/AC and V2O5/Al2O3 by impregnation method and studied their catalytic and mechanical properties.
Gao et al. [13] studied the catalytic properties of V2O5/AC in the temperature range of 100-300℃, at the GHSV of 24000 h-1.
These good properties make carbon nanotube become a new type of catalyst support, furthermore it has attracted the attention of many scholars in recent years.
For some kinds of the catalyst, however, NO conversion decreases first and then increases with the increase of temperature.Therefore, temperature is the important factor affecting the catalytic activity.

Performance Analysis of Hydrostatic Slideways Systems with Different Types of Restrictors Shenghao ZHOU1, a, Jinchun SONG1,b , Zhiwei ZHNANG1 and Song LI1 1School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Northeastren University, Shenyang, China ashhzhou@mail.neu.edu.cn, bjchsong@mail.neu.edu.cn Keywords: Hydrostatic slideways, closed-type slideways, restrictor, oil film stiffness.
Introduction With such advantageous characteristics as low friction, wide range of speed, good anti-vibration property and long service life, oil lubricated hydrostatic sideways system have become more and more important in precision machine tool technology [1].
According to the mechanical structure hydrostatic slideways has two types of open one and closed one.
One of these is the passive compensation restrictor that adopts flexible or movable element directly affected by the pressure change within the oil-film; the other is the active compensation restrictor that possesses controllable element driven by an auxiliary actuator in accordance with controlling algorithm.
Mechanical Structure Model Hydrostatic slideways support loads by pressuring lubricant oil into a slideways pocket.

Finishing Performance of the Abrasive Flow Machining in Complex Holes by Using Helical Cores A-Cheng Wang1, a*, Ken-Chuan Cheng1, b, Kuan-Yu Chen2, c and Yan-Cherng Lin3, d 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chien Hsin University of Science and Technology, Taoyuan city, 32097, Taiwan 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chung Yuan Christian University, Taoyuan city, 32023, Taiwan 3Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nan Kai University of Technology, Nantou County 54243, Taiwan aacwang@uch.edu.tw, bkccheng20@gmail.com, cgychen@cycu.edu.tw, dycline@nkut.edu.tw Keywords: Abrasive flow machining, Abrasive gel, Helical cores, Even surface Abstract.
These silicone gels have lower flow property and do not stick on the workpiece surface after contact, so that they are the good abrasive media in AFM.
However, the gap between the hole surface and helical tip is the main factor, which can control the shear forces of the abrasive gel in polishing process.
Helical turn is an important parameter in the complex hole finishing, since it affects the angle of multi-axial motions of the abrasive gel in AFM.

However, higher angle boundaries show highly variable precipitation and corrosion susceptibility: critical factors are the grain boundary plane and precipitate/matrix crystallographic relationship.
Automotive manufacturers favour the use of AA5182, which contains 4.5 wt% Mg, because of its good mechanical properties.
The rate of SCC propagation will therefore be affected by the crystallographic texture of the material.

These coatings naturally exhibit different interface properties such as friction and heat partition coefficients depending on the workpiece material.
Still, they are not suited to provide in-depth analyses of surface layer states being induced by cutting operations on account of the disregard of influencing factors such as relative speed.
Up to a point, dependencies on these factors can be added to common models by introducing state-dependent friction coefficients.
Work in this field continues due to the interest in mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials.
