Modelling the cutting process and cutting performance in contour and multipass abrasive waterjet machining

该项目将开发重要的新型切割技术，以提高磨料水射流切割技术的切割能力和应用领域。它将获得对切削现象的基本理解，并开发新的数学模型来预测AWJ轮廓和多道次切削中的切削性能。本课题将进一步发展为制造科学的一个新分支，揭示有喷嘴振荡和无喷嘴振荡时AWJ加工的切削机理，并通过提供加工信息和切削性能模型，提高AWJ加工的技术和经济性能，对制造业产生重大影响。

This project will develop important new cutting techniques to increase the cutting capability and application domain of the abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting technology. It will gain a fundamental understanding of the cutting phenomenon and develop new mathematical models for predicting the cutting performance in AWJ contouring and multipass cutting. This project will further develop into a new branch of manufacturing science by uncovering the cutting mechanisms in AWJ machining with and without nozzle oscillation, and have significant impact to the manufacturing industry by providing machining information and cutting performance models to increase the technological and economic performance of AWJ machining.
