The non-Newtonian fluid is one type of shear thickening fluid which applied to process the complicated products. In this study, the new method of shear thickening fluid polishing (STFP) was used to polish the alloy steel SCM435 gears and the principle and performance of polishing process were also introduced. In the polishing process, the inclination angle of gears was believed to be an important parameter that affects the pressure and surface quality at different position on the tooth surfaces because it determines the contact between the polishing fluid and the tooth surface of the gear. The influence of the inclination angles on the pressure distribution and characteristics of fluid flow was performed by simulation process. The inclination angles of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 degrees were chosen in this study. As a result, the best inclination angle of gears is about 16 degree in the machining process. The tooth surfaces of gear have been in contact with the polishing fluid and the produced pressure reaches of 14.88 kPa. In addition, the influence of polishing speed on pressure were carried out in this study when inclination angle was established about 16 degree. The produced pressure on tooth surfaces increased with increasing the polishing speed. The results indicated that the different polishing speed also greatly affects the surface quality and machining efficiency. Therefore, the suggested machining method can become a suitable processing method for polishing the complicated products.

Because of the complexity of five-axis ball-end milling process, it is difficult to control the quality of the finished parts. It is well known that one of the most important differences between 5-axis and 3-axis CNC machining is whether tool-axis vector is variable in milling process. In this paper, the tool orientation is researched in order to obtain desired surface quality and improve production efficiency. And the influence of tool inclination angle on surface integrity, especially surface topography/roughness and residual stress in high-speed milling of P20 die steel is studied by means of milling experiments including 8 cases of ball-end milling of freeform surface. Finally, the optimal tool inclination angles including lead angle and tilt angle and milling method were obtained for 5-axis ball-end milling. And in the meanwhile, cutting condition can be improved and better surface quality can be obtained by selecting reasonable tool inclination angles and up/down milling method.

Speed bumps, as traffic calming devices, have been extensively used to reduce traffic speed on local streets. This study represents a unique application of Non-Newtonian fluid as Speed Bump. This technical paper relates to a device that reduces the speed of any over speeding vehicles travelling on a roadway. It is formed by a flexible material which consist of Non-Newtonian fluid in it i.e. each receptacle is impregnated with a dilatants shear thickening fluid. The material is placed under compression during impact when the vehicle strikes it and the fluid itself acts as means for controlling the resistance to deformation of the strip. Thus, if the vehicle travels at a low speed the fluid has a low viscosity and the strip is easily deformed, whereas if the speed of the vehicle is high the viscosity of the fluid is high and as a result has great resistance to deformation, thus forming a rigid obstacle to the passage of the vehicle. Drivers must always slow down when driving over the conventional speed breakers to prevent damage to their vehicle. However, the Non-Newtonian fluid Speed Breaker is sensitive to the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle needs to slow down only if it is over speeding.

Whereas most previous studies have focused on improving the penetration resistance of Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) treated composites, in this study, the dynamic compressive response of single and multi-ply 3 D E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites with the STF matrix was investigated by using a drop-weight low-velocity impact test. The experimental results revealed the STF improved the compressive and cushioning performance of the composites such that with increasing its concentration, further improvement was observed. The five-ply composite containing the STF of 30 wt% silica nanoparticles and 1 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reduced the applied peak force by 56% and 26% compared to a steel plate and five-ply neat samples, respectively. A series of repeated impacts was performed, and it was found that the performance of high-concentration composites is further decreased under this type of loading.

The joint arrangement in rock masses is the critical factor controlling the stability of rock structures in underground geotechnical engineering. In this study, the influence of the joint inclination angle on the mechanical behavior of jointed rock masses under uniaxial compression was investigated. Physical model laboratory experiments were conducted on jointed specimens with a single pre-existing flaw inclined at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° and on intact specimens. The acoustic emission (AE) signals were monitored during the loading process, which revealed that there is a correlation between the AE characteristics and the failure modes of the jointed specimens with different inclination angles. In addition, particle flow code (PFC) modeling was carried out to reproduce the phenomena observed in the physical experiments. According to the numerical results, the AE phenomenon was basically the same as that observed in the physical experiments. The response of the pre-existing joint mainly involved three stages: (I) the closing of the joint; (II) the strength mobilization of the joint; and (III) the reopening of the joint. Moreover, the response of the pre-existing joint was closely related to the joint’s inclination. As the joint inclination angle increased, the strength mobilization stage of the joint gradually shifted from the pre-peak stage of the stress–strain curve to the post-peak stage. In addition, the instantaneous drop in the average joint system aperture (aave) in the specimens with medium and high inclination angles corresponded to a rapid increase in the form of the pulse of the AE activity during the strength mobilization stage.
