Abrasive waterjet cutting technology has been used for rock excavation of tunnels and underground structures due to various advantages. In order to cut rocks by using the abrasive waterjet system, abrasive is essential to enhance impact energies for fracturing the target rock. Since garnet abrasives are not produced in Korea, alternative abrasives, instead of garnets, are needed to achieve the economical waterjet cutting. This study is to analyze cutting performance for rocks with sandy particles as alternative abrasive. Cutting tests were carried out on granite specimens at the constant waterjet energy (e.g., water pressure or water flow rate). The five kinds of sands, sampled by construction fields and natural sites, were prepared to perform the experimental tests. When sea sand was used as an alternative abrasive, cutting performance was secured to be 60~70% compared to the commercial garnet abrasive. Thus, it is expected that sand abrasives can be applied on the waterjet cutting process for the economical excavation construction.

이 연구는 테이퍼진 가공물이 동적 절삭상태에서 가지는 한계절삭깊이의 예측을 위한 이론 및 실험적 방법을 논하였다. 절삭 모델은 Usui-Hirota(1)가 제안한 것을, 가공물의 형상은 MTIRA (2)가 제안한 공작기계 동적성능시험용 표준시편을 다소 수정하여 사용하였다. 칩유동각은 Usui-Hirota의 에너지 방법에 의하여 구하였고, Inamura-Sata(6)의 원통형 가공물에 대한 절 삭동력학 이론을 일반화시켜 테이퍼진 가공물에 적용하여 절삭의 안정한계를 구한 후 채터시험 결과와 비교하여 이론의 타당성을 검증하였다.

고정밀도와 높은 생산성을 갖는 가공방법은 좋은 제품을 값싸게 제작하여야 하는 당면과제를 해결하기 위하여 필수적인 조건이 되었다. 이를 위하여 우선적으로는 공작기계가 고강성과 고속용 스핀들을 지녀야하며 정밀한 신속한 위치제어가 가능해야한다. 이와 더불어 절삭가공의 최첨병인 절삭공구가 고속가공에서 고정밀도와 오랜수명을 보장하는 우수한 성능 또한 가장 중요한 요소중의 하나이다. 이를 위하여 고속도강으로부터 시작하여 초경합금, ceramic, CBN & PCD 공구로 이르는 고속용 재종개발이 계속되었고 또한 절삭저항의 감소와 원활한 칩배출을 위한 형상개발이 꾸준히 이루어져왔다. 이와 함께 주어진 공작기계와 공구를 사용하여 최고의 효율과 정밀도를 유지할 수 있는 최적의 절삭조건의 선정과 적용 또한 중요하다.

This paper describes the development of force limiting device(FLD). The FLD could induce compressive yield before occurring elastic buckling for slender member under compressive load. Therefore, it might prevent reduction of load carrying capacity by elastic buckling and the structures with the devices would behave stable. A new type of FLD reduced cross area is proposed in this study different to existing studies like as out of plane type, slit type and folded plate type. The parameters of specimens are depth, width and number of cutting. The structural capacity and characteristics of proposed types were verified by experiment and FEM analysis. The FLD of cutting type is efficient in compressive member.

Several alternative rock-cutting concepts, which are modified from the conventional ones, have been developed lately. Of the concepts, undercutting is one of the latest technologies. In this study, as a fundamental study on the undercutting technique, the rock-cutting mechanism and important parameters of the undercutting were introduced. This study built up cutting test system for evaluating the cutting performance of an actuated undercutting disc cutter (ADC), and carried out a series of cutting tests under different cutting parameters of ADC. The characteristics of cutter forces obtained from ADC rock-cutting tests were analyzed. The both average and peak values of the three directional cutter forces were linearly increased with the increases of linear velocity, penetration depth in vertical direction and eccentricity of ADC.

Alternative methods of rock cutting have been introduced to substitute and to improve the traditional mechanical rock excavation methods (e.g., TBM and roadheader). Undercutting methods have been recently studied in some countries. In undercutting, several additional cutting parameters are involved in its cutting process compared to the traditional rock-cutting. As a fundamental study, this paper introduces the concept of undercutting method with actuated disc, lab-scaled testing system, and testing procedures of undercutting by the system. Also, we present the calculation methods of cutter forces and specific energy, and discuss the results of undercutting tests compared to those of traditional rock-cutting methods.

Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings could be good candidates as solid lubricants for cutting tools in dry machining of aluminum alloy. In this work, DLC thin films were produced as a friction reduction coating for WC-Co insert tip using the plasma immersion ion beam deposition (PIIED) technique. DLC coatings were also coated on $Al_2O_3$ specimens and high temperature wear tested up to $400^{\circ}C$ in dry air to observe the survivability of the DLC coating in simulated severe cutting conditions using a pin-on-disc tribotester with Hertzian contact stress of 1.3GPa. It showed reduced friction coefficients of minimum 0.02 up to $400^{\circ}C$. And cutting performance of DLC coated WC-Co insert tips to Al 6061 alloy were conducted in a high speed machining center. The main problems of built-up edge formation in aluminum machining are drastically reduced with improved surface roughness. The improvements were mainly related to the low friction coefficient of DLC to Al alloy and the anti-adhesion of Al alloy to WE due to the inertness of DLC.

Recently, research on bone fracture and osteoplasty using ultrasonic bone surgery unit has been ongoing in the fields of dentistry, plastic surgery, and otorhinolaryngology. However, detailed data evaluation with ultrasonic bone surgery unit has not been conducted to date. In this study, we developed handpiece moving system (HMS) for cutting performance evaluation. In the experimental setup of HMS, a handpiece was immobilized, and bone samples from cortical bone of bovine leg were prepared. Also, the experimental process was described in detail, and a basic experiment was carried out to evaluate the cutting performance. Future study is required on all experimental process conditions by HMS.

New type of rock excavation method using a waterjet system is being developed to secure economic feasibility and to reduce vibrations during excavation. In waterjet rock excavation, overlapping of cutting width is essential for high efficiency. In this study, cutting experiments for granite specimens were performed using abrasive waterjet system according to the overlapping ratio and standoff distance. Based on the experimental results, the granite cutting performance was analyzed according to the overlapping ratio. In addition, removal shapes of the cross-section were analyzed in terms of the cutting depth, width, and volume after waterjet cutting. When the overlapping ratio is less than 58%, rock specimens are partially removed due to the insufficient overlapping ratio. However, when the overlapping ratio exceeds 67%, overcutting phenomenon is observed. For the partial overlapping ratio (i.e., 25~75%), cutting efficiency is increased in the removal volume. This study is expected to be used as the important basic data for determining the optimum overlapping ratio when the waterjet system is applied for rock excavation.
