  • ICRA - Cutting, 'by pressing and slicing', applied to the robotic cut of bio-materials. II. Force during slicing and pressing cuts
    Proceedings 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2006. ICRA 2006., 1
    Co-Authors: Debao Zhou, Mark R. Claffee, Kok-meng Lee, Gary Mcmurray
    Abstract:

    The applications of robotics are becoming more and more common in non-traditional industries such as the medical industry including robotic surgery and sample microtoming as well as food industry that include the processing of meats, fruits and vegetables. In this paper, the influence of the Blade Edge-shape and its slicing angle on the cutting of biomaterials are formulated and discussed based on the stress analysis that has been presented in part I. Through modeling the cutting force, an optimal slicing angle can be formulated to maximize the feed rate while minimizing the cutting forces. Moreover, the method offers a means to predict cutting forces between the Blade and the biomaterials, and a basis for design of robust force control algorithms for automating the cutting of biomaterials

  • An investigation of the use of discriminant analysis for the classification of Blade Edge type from cut marks made by metal and bamboo Blades.
    American journal of physical anthropology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Heather Bonney
    Abstract:

    Analysis of cut marks in bone is largely limited to two dimensional qualitative description. Development of morphological classification methods using measurements from cut mark cross sections could have multiple uses across palaeoanthropological and archaeological disciplines, where cutting Edge types are used to investigate and reconstruct behavioral patterns. An experimental study was undertaken, using porcine bone, to determine the usefulness of discriminant function analysis in classifying cut marks by Blade Edge type, from a number of measurements taken from their cross-sectional profile. The discriminant analysis correctly classified 86.7% of the experimental cut marks into serrated, non-serrated and bamboo Blade types. The technique was then used to investigate a series of cut marks of unknown origin from a collection of trophy skulls from the Torres Strait Islands, to investigate whether they were made by bamboo or metal Blades. Nineteen out of twenty of the cut marks investigated were classified as bamboo which supports the non-contemporaneous ethnographic accounts of the knives used for trophy taking and defleshing remains. With further investigation across a variety of Blade types, this technique could prove a valuable tool in the interpretation of cut mark evidence from a wide variety of contexts, particularly in forensic anthropology where the requirement for presentation of evidence in a statistical format is becoming increasingly important.

  • improving savonius rotor performance by shaping its Blade Edges
    2012
    Co-Authors: Jerzy świrydczuk, Katarzyna Kludzinska
    Abstract:

    The article presents the results of the numerical analysis of the flow inside the Savonius rotor. Particular at-tention has been paid to the vicinity of the Blade gap in order to recognise the mechanisms controlling the flow in this area. The conclusions resulting from the analysis made the basis for an attempt to improve Savonius turbine performance via shaping rotor Blade Edges. The paper presents selected characteristic flow patterns in the vicinity of the Blade gap and the results of Blade Edge shaping having the form of torque fluctuations recorded during one half-period of rotor rotation.
