    • Air jet cooling of brake discs 

      MURRAY, DARINA BRIDGET; TORRANCE, ARCHIBALD ANDREW; MURRAY, DARINA BRIDGET; TORRANCE, ARCHIBALD ANDREW (Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 2008)
      This paper reports on an investigation of a novel approach to the cooling of brake discs, based on the application of impinging air jets. This has the capacity to enhance the heat transfer coefficients at the disc surface ...

    • Characterisation of abrasive particles and surfaces in grinding 

      De Pellegrin, Dennis; TORRANCE, ARCHIBALD ANDREW (2006)

    • Control of Grinding Temperature by High Speed Air Jets 

      TORRANCE, ARCHIBALD ANDREW; MURRAY, DARINA BRIDGET; BABIC, DARKO M. (Bled, 2004)
      Grinding, like other abrasive processes, may generate high local temperatures along the arc of cut. These can cause various forms of surface damage in the most sensitive finishing phase of the manufacturing cycle. Traditional ...

    • Measurement of grinding temperatures using a foil/workpiece thermocouple 

      TORRANCE, ARCHIBALD ANDREW (Elsevier, 2012)
      The high temperature generated in abrasive processes is the main factor responsible for thermal damage to a ground surface. It can be predicted through the thermal balance of the heat fluxes in the process. Such predictions ...

    • Wear of grinding wheels - software for their selection 

      TORRANCE, ARCHIBALD ANDREW (2004)
      An existing model of the grinding process has been upgraded to predict grinding wheel wear as G ratios. It has been successfully benchmarked against experimental results for several combinations of coolant wheel and ...
