Sliding movements

A routine operation usually proceeds as follows. First the head of the femur is sawn off. The socket in the pelvis (the acetabulum) is then made deeper with a cutting machine and subsequently the metal socket is stamped into the hip. This metal is then lined with plastic to facilitate sliding movements. The femur is scooped out with a rasp and filled with cement. This cement is a mixture of plastics which automatically polymerizes in the femur. Since 1997 it has been becoming customary to grind up old hip heads and use the bone shreds together with the cement as a filler for the shaft of the prosthesis. The stem of the prosthesis is hammered into the femur, the spherical head is attached to it and inserted into the plastic socket.

During a sliding movement the points of contact, where the two surfaces are welded together, are continuously being broken, whereafter they reform this requires a force %-A, in which % is the shear strength of the material. This is the friction force, F = %-A = p-N, where p is the coefficient of friction. This leads to a very simple expression for p ... 

At the physical and chemical level, the mechanisms of interaction between two skin surfaces, more or less flat, smooth, and adhesive, govern the sliding movement. According to Wolfram,... 

Dynamic contact between two bodies (e.g., one sliding over the other) generates noise that is characteristic of the hardness of these bodies and of the physical and chemical properties of their interface. Moreover, the velocity of the sliding movement modifies the frequency band of the emitted acoustic waves. The sliding displacement of a finger at the surface of the skin for assessing its smoothness... 

The chamber consists of a strong wooden box, a, 18 in. high by IS in, wide, and H in. det T). To the front a door is attached, hinged in this instance, but a vertical sliding movement would be more convenient. To two sides of the box are fixed wooden supports, which serve to receive teak spars /or supporting drying trays or evaporating dishes. Tlie bottom of the box has a perforation of 3 in, diameter, into wliich a zinc cylinder, 6, is securely fitted, and to this is soldered the upper end of a copper cone, o, with a flat bottom, while into iliis latter a bent tube of 2 [Pg.380]

The channels through which the plasticized material enters the gate areas of the mold cavities are called runners. Normally, runners are either hill round or trapezoidal in cross section. Round cross section offers the least resistance to the flow of material but requires a duplicate machining operation in the mold, since both plates must be cut at the parting line. In three-plate mold designs, however, trapezoidal runners are preferred, since sliding movements are required across the parting-Hne ruimer face. 

A typical surface grinder is shown in Fig. 10.1 and uses a 300 mm diameter by 25 mm wide grinding wheel. The reciprocating table and cross-slide movements are hydraulically operated, although alternative hand operation is provided. 

Simulations for checking of the feasibility of a cycle process input information about the controllable axes, and the relationship between axial movements and volumes moving in the working space of the machine tool. For this purpose, a simplified model is appropriate. Figure 6-23 introduces such a model by the example of a typical milling machine. In this example, the directions of the model space coordinates and the controlled axes are the same. In the case of a flexible manufacturing system with several machine tools in the model space, the directions of the controlled axes are described by vectors. The simplified model describes the direction and extent of slide movements, the structure of the machine tool. 

Presses dedicated to die spotting are used primarily by die shops or large stamping facilities they are included here because they can have specialized features. Because they are used to spot dies, these presses require precise control over the movement of the slide. The operator usually controls the slide movement in a manual mode by means of a hand lever. Speed is variable and typically slow when compared with production presses. The slide should be well guided for precise alignment and parallelism.

The table movement (x axis) is manual via the handwheel, or hydraulic for automatic reciprocation. The saddle cross-slide movement (y axis) and wheel downfeed (z axis) are controlled by digital AC servo motors. Table reversal is set by adjustable table dogs and proximity switches in the saddle.
