Effect of perspiration on skin temperature measurements by infrared thermography and contact thermometry during aerobic cycling
2015
[EN] The aim of the present study was to compare infrared thermography and thermal contact sensors for measuring skin temperature during cycling in a moderate environment. Fourteen cyclists performed a 45-mM cycling test at 50% of peak power output. Skin temperatures were simultaneously recorded by infrared thermography and thermal contact sensors before and immediately after cycling activity as well as after 10 min cooling-down, representing different skin wetness and blood perfusion states. Additionally, surface temperature during well controlled dry and wet heat exchange (avoiding thermoregulatory responses) using a hot plate system was assessed by infrared thermography and thermal conta…
Numerical study of the accuracy of temperature measurement by thermocouples in small-scale reactors
2018
Proper temperature measurement is imperative in any laboratory study if reliable data are to be obtained, particularly in the field of chemical kinetics. In this paper we analyze in silico some typical thermowell configurations used in small-scale reactors by coupling computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with conjugated heat transfer phenomena. This allows us to identify deviations in measurements arising from thermal radiation and self-conductivity in mid and high temperature ranges, in addition to radial temperature gradients. A novel design is proposed and optimized by additional simulation, showing potential for faster and more accurate temperature measurements.
Integrated System for Monitoring the Tool State Using Temperature Measuring by Natural Thermocouple Method
2014
The intensive developments of intelligent manufacturing systems in the last decades open the large possibilities of more accurate monitoring of the metal cutting process. One of the most important factors of the process is the tool state given by the rate of the tool wear, which is the result of a lot of influences of almost all cutting parameters. The modern tool monitoring systems relieved that the accuracy of the results increases when using a combination of surveyed signals such as: vibrations, power consumption, acoustic emission, forces or tool temperature. Combining the output signals in a monitoring function using the neural network method gives the best results when using on-line m…
On the FE codes capability for tool temperature calculation in machining processes
2006
Abstract The applications of numerical simulation to machining processes have been more and more growing in the last years: today a quite effective predictive capability has been reached, at least as far as global cutting variables (for instance cutting forces) are concerned. On the other hand, the capability to predict local cutting variables (i.e. pressure on the tool, temperature distribution, residual stresses in the machined surface) has to be heavily improved and verified. At the same time, effective experimental procedures for validating numerical results have to be developed. In this work two different approaches were implemented for temperature measuring: a thermocouple based appro…
On the improvement of material formability in SPIF operation through tool stirring action
2012
Single-point incremental forming (SPIF) is a quite new sheet-forming process which offers the possibility to deform complex parts without dedicated dies using a single-point tool and a standard three-axis CNC machine. The process mechanics enables higher strains with respect to traditional sheet-forming processes, but particular attention must be given to the maximum forming angle. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to enhance the material formability through a localized sheet heating as a consequence of the friction work caused by elevated tool rotational speeds. AA1050-O, AA1050-H24, and AA6082-T6 were utilized, and the reached temperatures were recorded by thermocouples, fixed to …
Physics based modelling of interface temperatures in machining with multilayer coated tools at moderate cutting speeds
2004
Abstract A new thermal model is presented for turning with tools with multilayer coatings. In the previous paper [Int. J. Mach. Tools Manuf. 43 (2003) 1311] devoted to the thermal problems in dry turning of steels with tools treated with multilayer coatings with an intermediate Al 2 O 3 layer new analytical models for estimating the heat partition to the chip and the average interface temperature were derived and the predictions were compared with experimental results. In this paper, a physics based modelling concept has been applied to both the individual layer and the composite layer approach to develop an estimate of the average and the maximum steady-state chip-tool interface temperatur…
Effect of simulated CO2and GaAlAs laser surface decontamination on temperature changes in Ti-plasma sprayed dental implants
2002
Background and Objective To investigate and compare temperature elevations at the implant-bone interface during simulated implant surface decontamination with a CO2 and a GaAlAs laser. Study Design/Materials and Methods Stepped cylinder implants (Frialit 2® Friadent GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) with a Titanium plasma sprayed surface were inserted into bone blocks cut from pig femurs. An artificial periimplant bone defect provided access for laser irradiation in the coronal third. Both lasers were operated at 1.0–2.5 W in the cw-mode. The bone block was placed into a 37°C water bath in order to simulate in vivo thermal conductivity and diffusitivity of heat. K-type thermocouples connected to a d…
Thermal increase in the oral mucosa and in the jawbone during Nd:YAG laser applications. Ex vivo study
2012
Objective: Literature reports bactericidal and biostimulant effects for Nd:YAG laser procedures on bone and oral mucosa but the possible overheating can cause damage to anatomical structures. The aim of the study is the evaluation of thermal increase in different levels of oral tissues: mucosa, periosteum and bone during defocused application of Nd:YAG laser at different parameters. Study Design: Superficial thermal evaluation was performed in pig jaws with a thermal camera device; deep thermal evaluation was realized by 4 thermocouples placed at a subperiosteal level and at 1,2 and 4 mm depth in the jaw bone. Laser applications of 1 minute were performed 5 times (with a pause of 1 minute) …
Temperature changes induced by 809-nm GaAlAs laser at the implant-bone interface during simulated surface decontamination
2003
The aim of the study was to investigate temperature changes at the implant-bone interface during simulated implant surface decontamination with a 809-nm gallium-aluminium-arsenid (GaAlAs) semiconductor laser. Stepped cylinder implants with a diameter of 3.8 mm and a length of 11 mm with two different surfaces (sand-blasted and acid etched, and hydroxyapatite-coated) were inserted into bone blocks cut from freshly resected pig femurs. Access holes of 0.5 mm were drilled into the bone, to allow K-type thermocouples to contact periimplant bone in different parts of the cavity. An artificial periimplant bone defect provided access for laser irradiation in the coronal third. A 600-micrometer opt…
