Modeling and analysis of drag-bit cutting

Description: This report documents a finite-element analysis of drag-bit cutting using polycrystalline-diamond compact cutters. To verify the analysis capability, prototypic indention tests were performed on Berea sandstone specimens. Analysis of these tests, using measured material properties, predicted fairly well the experimentally observed fracture patterns and indention loads. The analysis of drag-bit cutting met with mixed success, being able to capture the major features of the cutting process, but n… more

Reduction in airborne contamination levels at the 9201-5 Arc Melt sawing operation. A Y-12 Plant 1982 ALARA goal

Description: Lowering the uranium airborne contamination level at the two saws in the 9201-5 Arc Melt Area was chosen as a Y-12 Plant As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) goal for 1982. This priority was convincingly communicated to those involving by giving specific instructions to suspend saw operations any time there was evidence of a problem until that problem could be corrected. Using control charts on air flow rates into the saw enclosures and pressure drops across filters in the saw ventilation (D… more
