Capillary Property of Entangled Porous Metallic Wire materials and Its Application in Fluid Buffers:Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Study

Strong impact does serious harm to the military industries so it is necessary to choose reasonable cushioning material and design effective buffers to prevent the impact of equipment.Based on the capillary property entangled porous metallic wire materials(EPMWM),this paper designed a composite buffer which uses EPMWM and viscous fluid as cushioning materials under the low-speed impact of the recoil force device of weapon equipment(such as artillery,mortar,etc.).Combined with the capillary model,porosity,hydraulic diameter,maximum pore diameter and pore distribution were used to characterize the pore structure characteristics of EPMWM.The calculation model of the damping force of the composite buffer was established.The low-speed impact test of the composite buffer was conducted.The parameters of the buffer under low-speed impact were identified according to the model,and the nonlinear model of damping force was obtained.The test results show that the composite buffer with EPMWM and viscous fluid can absorb the impact energy from the recoil movement effectively,and provide a new method for the buffer design of weapon equipment(such as artillery,mortar,etc.).

Three-dimensional temperature prediction in cylindrical turning with large-chamfer insert based on a modified slip-line field approach

Chamfered inserts have found broader applications in metal cutting process especially in high-performance machining of hard-to-cut materials for their excellent edge resistance and cutting toughness.However,excessive heat generation and resulting high cutting temperature eventually cause severe tool wear and poor surface integrity,which simultaneously limits the optimal selection of machining parameters.In the present study,an analytical thermal–mechanical model is proposed for the prediction of the three-dimensional(3-D)temperature field in cylindrical turning with chamfered round insert based on a modified slip-line field approach.First,an innovative discretization method is introduced in a general 3-D coordinate system to provide a comprehensive demonstration of the irregular cutting geometry and heat generation zones.Then,a plasticity-theory-based slip-line field model is developed and employed to determine the intensities and geometries of every elementary heat sources in Primary Deformation Zones(PDZ),Secondary Deformation Zones(SDZ)and Dead Metal Zones(DMZ).At last,a 3-D analytical model is suggested to calculate the temperature increases caused by the entire heat sources and associated images.The maximum cutting temperature region predicted is found existing upon the chip-tool contact area rather than the tool edge.Moreover,the rationalities of cutting parameters employed are analyzed along with theoretical material removal rates and ensuing maximum cutting temperatures.The results indicate that the cutting conditions with large depth of cut and high cutting speed are more desirable than those with high feed rates.The proposed models are respectively verified through a series of 3-D Finite Element(FE)simulations and dry cutting experiments of Inconel 718 with chamfered round insert.Satisfactory agreement has been reached between the predictions and simulations as well as the measurements,which confirms the correctness and effectiveness of the presented analytical model.
