Vortex machining is a unique localized material removal process in which footprints of several nanometer in depth are obtained. It employs a resonating quartz tuning fork and a fiber attached on its upper tine. When submerged in a layer of slurry,...
The use of biomaterials as drug delivery systems (DDS) eliminates the adverse side effects of systemic drug administration. Silica-based bioceramics have been widely studied as DDS and demonstrated a unique ability for controlled drug release loca...
Modeling machining processes with conventional finite element methods (FEM) is challenging due to the severe deformations that occur during machining, complex frictional conditions that exist between the cutting tool and the workpiece, and the pos...
