EXPERIMENTALLY-STATISTICAL MODEL OF CLADDING LAYER FORMATION PROCESS ON SLIDE-WAYS by N. N. Maksimchenko

“…The developed experimentally-statistical model of the cladding composite layer formation process on slide-ways allows to operate technological modes of cladding by flexible instrument (CFI) in order to obtain the set properties of a coating (thickness, continuity, adhesion strength).The established optimum technological modes of CFI process providing formation of continuous, strongly adhered to a basis composite coatings of the required thickness have been used for applying coatings on working surfaces of slide-ways of metal-cutting machine tool beds that has allowed to lower friction factor in coupling on the average by 1.3–1.7-fold and to improve uniformity of slow moving of machine tool units by 1.74-fold in comparison with slide-ways without a coating.…”

Scattered energy from a rough core‐mantle boundary modeled by a Monte Carlo seismic particle method: Application to PKKP precursors by Nicholas Mancinelli, Peter Shearer

“…Abstract We stack a large global data set of 1 Hz PKKP waveforms to constrain globally averaged properties of PKKP precursors. We find that the precursor observations are better explained by scattering from core‐mantle boundary (CMB) topography than by scattering from the near surface, lower mantle, outer core, or inner core. …”
