Next Generation of Waterjet and Abrasive-Waterjet Processing Technologies. Volume5. Process Modeling and Knowledge Base Development

摘要

The goal of this project was to develop the necessary theoretical process modelsfor guiding the tests and establishing a scientific base behind the various development efforts. The theoretical and experimental studies conducted were: modeling the waterjet acceleration and dispersion process, modeling the abrasive waterjet acceleration process, modeling the abrasive suspension jet acceleration process, modeling the kerf kinematics, modeling the jet cutting theory, visualization of the high-velocity cutting jets, modeling of the manipulator and wrist kinematics, procedure adaptation for manipulator structural analysis, documentation of common experimental procedures, and development of an expert system for abrasive waterjet operations.
