Multi-objective Optimization of Process Performances when Cutting Carbon Steel with Abrasive Water Jet
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2016, Vol 38, Issue 4
Abstract
Multi-objective optimization of process performances (perpendicularity deviation, surface roughness and productivity) when cutting carbon steel EN S235 with abrasive water jet is presented in this paper. Cutting factors (abrasive flow rate, traverse rate and standoff distance) were determined when perpendicularity deviation and surface roughness are minimal and productivity is maximal. Multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) was used for the determination set of nondominated optimal points, known as Pareto front.

Tribological Behaviour of Smart Fluids Influenced by Magnetic and Electric Field – A Review
This review paper highlights the tribological behaviour and performance of smart fluids. Two main kinds of smart fluids, that respond to a suitable external stimulus are investigated – electrorheological and magnetorheol...
An Attempt to Calibrate the Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) Signal used for Oil Film Thickness (OFT) Measurements in Simulating Test Rigs
The issue of laser induced fluorescence calibration for engine and simulating rigs was studied using both a static calibration rig and a dynamic method involving a modified piston-ring specimen. The technique used to mea...
Vanadium Alloyed PVD CrAlN Coatings for Friction Reduction in Metal Forming Applications
Hard coatings deposited on forming tools are used to improve the forming process and to increase tool life. The decrease of tool wear and reduction of friction are the main motivations for the development of self-lubrica...
Tribometry of Materials for Bioengineering Applications
Development of materials for biomedical implants (metals, polymers, ceramics and composites) is directly determined by characteristics and nature of the tissue, organs and systems that are being replaced or supplemented....
Modeling and Development of RMD Configuration Magnetic Bearing
The low load carrying capacity of Passive Magnetic Bearings (PMBs) has restricted their use in many industrial applications. The Rotation Magnetized Direction (RMD) configuration has emerged as a strong and viable method...
