EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE DECOATING PROCESS BY PURE WATERJET

摘要

In this paper experimental results and a modelling approach of the decoating process of an epoxy resin coated steel plate are presented. The model describes the fatigue of the work piece by a linear accumulation of the damages done by single droplets. The subsequent erosion is approximated by a simple function of the masses and velocities of the impacting droplets. To fit these functions to the measured erosion rate numerical optimisation is successfully applied.
