Innovative Approach to Advanced Modulated Waterjet Technology

Abstract

The paper deals with a new formulation of theory for modulated waterjet technology by analytical model. The fundamental oscillations frequency for modulated waterjet technology has been investigated. This system generates a modulated liquid jet as a result of the resonant chamber introduction. The theoretical model was developed particularly on the basis of knowledge of the geometric dimensions of the system and the liquid pressures in order to predict the values of the fundamental frequencies of oscillations. The predicted oscillation frequencies were verified by laboratory measurements. It has been achieved a significant performance improvement in surface disintegration of material being machined
