Energy Selective Neutron Imaging For The Characterization Of Polycrystalline Materials, Robin Woracek
Energy Selective Neutron Imaging For The Characterization Of Polycrystalline Materials, Robin Woracek
Doctoral Dissertations
This multipart dissertation focuses on the development and evaluation of advanced methods for material testing and characterization using neutron diffraction and imaging techniques. A major focus is on exploiting diffraction contrast in energy selective neutron imaging (often referred to as Bragg edge imaging) for strain and phase mapping of crystalline materials. The dissertation also evaluates the use of neutron diffraction to study the effect of multi-axial loading, in particular the role of applying directly shear strains from the application of torsion. A portable tension-torsion-tomography loading system has been developed for in-situ measurements and integrated at major user facilities around the …
Mechanistic Modeling Of Cutting Forces In Wavy-Edge Bull-Nose Helical End-Milling Of Inconel 718 Under Different Cooling-Lubrication Strategies, Abdulhakim Ali Sultan
Mechanistic Modeling Of Cutting Forces In Wavy-Edge Bull-Nose Helical End-Milling Of Inconel 718 Under Different Cooling-Lubrication Strategies, Abdulhakim Ali Sultan
Doctoral Dissertations
“This research presents the results of the development of a mechanistic cutting force prediction model for the wavy-edge bull-nose helical endmill (WEBNHE). The mechanistic model was developed to predict cutting force components and the resultant cutting force in high-speed end-milling of Inconel 718 under two cooling strategies: emulsion and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). The effects of the cooling strategies are incorporated into the mechanistic model through six cutting force coefficients (Ktc, Krc, Kac), and edge force coefficients (Kte, Kre, Kae), which have been experimentally identified in a separate …
