Training-induced changes in daily energy expenditure: Methodological evaluation using wrist-worn accelerometer, heart rate monitor, and doubly labele…
2019
IntroductionWrist-mounted motion sensors can quantify the volume and intensity of physical activities, but little is known about their long-term validity. Our aim was to validate a wrist motion sensor in estimating daily energy expenditure, including any change induced by long-term participation in endurance and strength training. Supplemental heart rate monitoring during weekly exercise was also investigated.MethodsA 13-day doubly labeled water (DLW) measurement of total energy expenditure (TEE) was performed twice in healthy male subjects: during two last weeks of a 12-week Control period (n = 15) and during two last weeks of a 12-week combined strength and aerobic Training period (n = 13…
Key Influencing Factors in Early-Stage Hardware Startups: A Trilateral Model of Speed, Resource, and Quality
2020
Hardware startups, i.e., wearable devices, robotics, and Internet of Things, are a significant sector of technology startups, in which software development is relevant and needed. Compared to pure software startups, hardware development in startup contexts lacks a systematic approach and guidelines. This chapter describes an empirical model that captures common elements in product development approaches among many hardware startups. Grounded from insights of 18 active hardware startups, we constructed a trilateral model of resource, speed, and quality in early-stage product development. For startups with relevant contexts, the work suggests the preparation of internal, external resources, a…
Metal Matrix Composites - Mmc - Turning: Comparison of Tool Materials
2002
The main properties required to the modem cutting tools to be employed in production, are both high wear resistance and chemical stability. In this last years, in the machining of MMCs several kinds of coated tools have been developed; they are characterized by high hardness to resist to the relevant strength and abrasive action of the reinforce fibers or particles, arranged inside the matrix. In turning of MMC the employ of Tungsten Carbide tools coated with Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) have shown to be very effective, whereas they are very expensive thus increasing the production costs.
Oil whip-induced wear in journal bearings
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00170-014-5805-8 This paper investigates the effect of oil whirl and oil whip in fluid film radial bearings due to possible metallic contact. The degree of metallic contact and thereby wear and tear between rotating shafts and bearing bushes is assessed by measuring electric currents through the oil film. The current as well as the voltage varied in accordance with the contact ratio between the shaft and bush in the fluid film radial bearing. The gauge signal thus indicates the degree of metallic contact based on the thi…
Friction and wear testing of multilayer coatings on carbide substrates for dry machining applications
2002
Abstract The principle aim of this paper is to investigate three wear-protective coatings with multilayer structures, which are frequently used in the cutting tool industry and to assess their frictional behaviour under the test conditions equivalent to those for the cutting of medium carbon steel. A modified pin-on-disc tester was used to conduct experiments in which both the friction coefficient and the linear wear of the tribo-pair were recorded vs. sliding distance. The volumetric wear rate was proposed as a parameter for quantitative comparison of the wear resistance of the tribo-pairs tested. It was found that the principle stage of the specimen wear takes place during the first 200–2…
Comparison of the friction and wear properties of titanium and oxidised titanium in dry sliding against sintered high speed steel HS18-0-1 and agains…
2005
Abstract The paper presents the results of conformal pin-on-disc tribological tests concerning the hard oxidised zone, α-Ti(O), created at the surface of a titanium specimens sliding against the sintered and hardened up to 850 HV30, Grade T1 high speed steel (HS18-0-1) counterspecimens. Comparison with the results obtained for the tests performed against hardened up to 620 HV30 C45 carbon steel counterspecimens has been done. Testing was carried out at room temperature and at unlubricated conditions. After tests the structures and compositions of the worn surfaces and wear debris were a subject of LOM, SEM observations and X-ray microanalyses. In comparison with the baseline—the Ti/T1 HSS c…
Prediction of Tool Wear Progress in Machining of Carbon Steel using different Tool Wear Mechanismsl
2008
In this paper the prediction of tool wear on carbide uncoated tools was taken into account. In particular, two different tool wear models based on the diffusion mechanism and on the abrasion mechanism were considered. The calibration of the utilized models was done using the results obtained by experimental analysis performed on an orthogonally machined AISI 1020 tube. Once the calibration was executed, numerical simulations, for both the utilized tool wear models, were simultaneously performed with the aim to test the capability of the proposed numerical procedure. The comparison between the two tool wear mechanisms for predicting the flank tool wear is discussed in the paper.
Friction and wear properties of titanium and oxidised titanium in dry sliding against hardened C45 steel
2004
Abstract The aim of the paper is to present the results of conformal pin-on-disc tribological tests concerning the hard oxidised zone created in superficial layer of a titanium specimen sliding against the hardened to a hardness of 690 HV carbon C45 steel counterspecimen. Tribological testing was carried out at room temperature and at unlubricated conditions. After tests the structures and chemical compositions of the wear debris and worn surfaces were a subject of SEM and X-ray investigations. In comparison with the baseline the technical quality titanium/C45 steel couple, the wear and lifetime performance of the oxidised titanium/steel C45couple was markedly superior. Dominant wear debris…
Recrystallization in subsurface zone seen by positron annihilation
2010
Abstract The paper presents studies of the defect distribution, detected by the positron annihilation method in the subsurface zone (SZ) of copper samples after dry sliding wear. It takes advantage of a new experimental technique based on scanning of the positron implantation profile. It allowed us to detect the defect profile in copper to the depth of 200 μm in a nondestructive way and study isochronal annealing behavior of this profile. We determined that annealing induces a recrystallization process which runs faster close to the surface than in deeper regions. After sliding, the complete recrystallization of the substructure takes place at temperature c.a. 600 °C. Some changes in the de…
Machinability of Engineering Materials
2008
Chapter 13 provides comprehensive knowledge regarding machinability of construction materials and characterizes various meanings of this specific material feature, allowing effective selection of machining conditions. Factors affecting machinability and typical causes of low machinability are discussed. Three groups of machinability criteria are selected, including basic, substitutive and auxiliary ones. In particular, the cutting speed corresponding to economic or high productivity criteria and obtainable surface roughness are distinguished as basic machinability criteria. Relative and absolute machining rating systems are highlighted, and appropriate material groups and values of the mach…
