This timely volume compiles all of the important, recent research on high pressure liquid jetcutting and examines the observations and results of jetcutting studies. High pressure jetcutting helps engineers understand jetcutting problems from a scientific basis and demonstrates current applications that can increase productivity and machining quality, and improve working conditions. Some vital areas covered include: * Jetcutting Equipment, * Mechanics of Material Microfracture During Jetcutting, * Structure and Hydrodynamics of High-Pressure Liquid Jets, * Force Parameters of Jetcutting, * Technological Parameters of Jetcutting, and * Applications of Jetcutting. High-Pressure Jetcutting is a must for all engineers in industry who deal with the machining of high strength, nonmetallic structural materials or complex surfaces where hand operations are required.
