The Cutting Edge of SWORD

4th International Conference on Open RepositoriesThis presentation was part of the session : Conference PresentationsDate: 2009-06-04 10:30 AM – 12:00 PMThe presentation will give an overview of the UK JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) funded SWORD2 project. It will essentially be concerned with the need for, and development of, a specification that can be used for depositing research, and learning and teaching materials, and which gave rise to the original SWORD (Simple Web service Offering Repository Deposit) project 1. The presentation will look at how the original SWORD project and the current SWORD 2 project have realised the vision of a standard deposit protocol. The presentation will also consider the future of SWORD and look at some of the recent activity that has arisen around the project outputs, including the adoption into Microsoft Office, a SWORD Facebook application, a Netvibes widget, and current progress with international publishers.UKOLN; JIS

Apparatus for cutting elastomeric materials

Sharp thin cutting edge is held in head of milling machine designed for metal working. Controls of machine are used to position cutting edge in same plane as vibrating specimen. Controls then are operated, making blade come into contact with specimen, to cut it into shapes and sizes desired. Cut surfaces appear mirror-smooth; vibrating mechanism causes no visible striations

Financial Constraints: Routine Versus Cutting Edge R&D Investment

We analyze financial constraints for R&D, where we account for heterogeneity among investments which has been neglected in previous literature. According to economic theory, investments should be distinguished by their degree of uncertainty, e.g. routine R&D versus cutting-edge R&D. Financial constraints should be more binding for cutting-edge R&D than for routine R&D. Using panel data we find that R&D spending of firms devoting a significant fraction of R&D to cutting-edge projects is curtailed by credit constraints while routine R&D investments are not. This has important policy implications with respect to the distribution of R&D subsidies in the economy. --R&D,Financial Constraints,Panel Data

Influence of cutting edge radius on surface integrity and burr formation in milling titanium

The influence of the cutting edge micro geometry on cutting process and on tool performance is subject to several research projects. Recently, published papers mainly focus on the cutting edge rounding and its influence on tool life and cutting forces. For applications even more important, however, is the influence of the cutting edge radius on the integrity of the machined part. Especially for titanium, which is used in environments requiring high mechanical integrity, the information about the dependency of surface integrity on cutting edge geometry is important. This paper therefore studies the influence of the cutting edge radius on surface integrity in terms of residual stress, micro hardness, surface roughness and optical characterisation of the surface and near surface area in up and down milling of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Moreover, the influence of the cutting edge radius on burr formation is analysed. The experiments show that residual stresses increase with the cutting edge radius especially in up milling, whereas the influence in down milling is less pronounced. The influence of the cutting edge radius on surface roughness is non-uniform. The formation of burr increases with increasing cutting edge radius, and is thus in agreement with the residual stress test

Influence of the Honed Cutting Edge on Tool Wear and Surface Integrity in Slot Milling of 42CrMo4 Steel

The cutting edge microgeometry has a significant influence on the wear behavior of cutting tools and therefore on the machining performance. To investigate the effect of tailored cutting edge microgeometries, a detailed geometrical description of different cutting edge designs is necessary. The cutting edge profile is analyzed with respect to the machining conditions as well as the cutting edge segments S? and S?. Furthermore, this paper presents the influence of tailored cutting edges on tool wear, burr formation and residual stresses in slot milling of 42CrMo4 steel regarding the normalized ploughing zone in front of the cutting edge. © 2012 The Authors

Cutting Edge Nanotechnology

The main purpose of this book is to describe important issues in various types of devices ranging from conventional transistors (opening chapters of the book) to molecular electronic devices whose fabrication and operation is discussed in the last few chapters of the book. As such, this book can serve as a guide for identifications of important areas of research in micro, nano and molecular electronics. We deeply acknowledge valuable contributions that each of the authors made in writing these excellent chapters
