A GENERAL STUDY OF PROCESSES FOR THE REALIZATION OF DESIGN CONFIGURATIONS IN MATERIALS

Abstract

Concepts for two new process categories, cavitation and spontaneous oxidation, are investigated. General guidelines for process synthesis are developed based on the material properties, topological characteristics of the processes, the energy transformation involved and the environmental conditions essential to the energy transfer. These characteristic features of material removal, material joining, and material displace ment processes are developed. Two general approaches to improving material removal processes are cited: the first is concerned with re ducing surface energy by environmental means, the second with modification of the geometry of the failure mechanism, so as to reduce the energy required. Material removal processes synthesis is microscopic and macroscopic aspects of relaxation and resonance in materials, cavitation, and chemical removal
