Future Combat System (FCS) has been at the center of the Army's efforts to become a lighter, more agile, and more capable combat force by replacing existing combat systems with a family of manned and unmanned vehicles and systems, linked by an advanced information network. To meet the challenges of FCS's scope and schedule, the Army contracted with Boeing to be lead systems integrator (LSI), to help define, develop, and integrate FCS systems. Earlier this year, the Secretary of Defense proposed restructuring FCS to lower risk and address more near-term needs, shortly before FCS was to undergo a congressionally-mandated review to determine its future. The Department of Defense (DOD) and the Army have already begun to make programmatic and budgetary adjustments to FCS. This statement reviews aspects of FCS that should be considered for inclusion in future efforts, aspects that were problematic and need re-examination, and considerations for shaping future Army ground force modernization. The testimony is drawn from GAO's body of work on FCS management and acquisition strategy, including knowledge gaps, cost, affordability, oversight, and the Army/LSI relationship. GAO has made numerous recommendations aimed at managing FCS risks, but it is not making any new recommendations in this testimony.
FCS has many good features that should be considered in future efforts, including a holistic vision of the future force, government insight into subcontractor selection and management, a focus on leveraging capabilities through an information network, and establishment of organizations to train with and evaluate technologies to be spun out to current forces. Other more difficult lessons from FCS must be also be used to put future modernization efforts on the soundest footing possible. FCS was not executable within reasonable bounds of technical, engineering, time, or financial resources. From the start, the program was immature and unable to meet DOD's own standards for technology and design. Although adjustments were made, including adding time and trading off requirements, vehicle weights and software code grew, key network systems were delayed, and technologies took longer to mature. By 2009, it was still not known that the FCS concept would work. Oversight has been extremely challenging, given the program's vast scope and the innovative, but close, partner-like relationship between the Army and the LSI. Oversight by the Office of the Secretary of Defense did not compensate for these risks early in the program. Oversight was further challenged by the fact that the planned schedule for making decisions outpaced demonstrated knowledge--major production commitments were to be made before basic designs were demonstrated. As the Army proceeds with a different approach to modernization, there will be a number of important factors to consider. Rather than a single FCS program going forward, several programs with more targeted objectives may emerge. These programs need to be based on principles such as knowledge-based acquisition, sound cost estimating, and transparency and accountability for oversight. Beyond these principles, the Army will have to tailor its approaches to the needs of the individual programs. For example, the acquisition approach for spinning out mature technologies to current forces would differ from the approach needed to develop an information network. Several issues with transitioning from FCS will have to be addressed, including: closing out or restructuring current contractual arrangements; transferring FCS knowledge to emergent programs; transitioning the FCS information network to current Army forces; placing early emphasis on key design considerations such as sustainability; and balancing investments between future capabilities and keeping fielded systems capable. The Army's experience with FCS has been productive. The key in going forward will be to take the best from both positive and negative lessons learned and apply them to the ground force modernization efforts that will succeed FCS. The Army and DOD should continue to be innovative as to concepts and approaches, but anchored in knowledge-based strategies when it comes to proposing a specific system development effort.

Former Baltimore Ravens head coach, and current Fox Sports analyst, Brian Billick weighed in on the latest edition of HBO's 'Hard Knocks' featuring the New York Jets, saying, "I don't think there is a big downside for them." Billick's Ravens team was the first to participate in the network's show, which follows one NFL team each season through the preseason. (For a running diary of the latest episode of 'Hard Knocks' click here.)
Billick also touched on how what the Patriots' mind-set might be heading into their final preseason game, Thursday night against the Giants. The former coach noted that he isn't surprised by the insinuation by Pats' head coach Bill Belichick that he might play his starters, including Tom Brady, more than usual for a fourth preseason game. "He's sending a message, probably," Billick said, "trying to get a little more done with his team."
Billick added regarding what an NFL coach is thinking heading into the first game of the season, "There are still things you're concerned about and usually that has to do with depth ... That's probably the biggest thing that concerns you."
Billick, who also noted that the Jets' defense could have a problem in the sense they don't have a dominant pass-rusher, talked about the challenges of transitioning from a veteran team to a younger squad, citing two years after his Baltimore team won the Super Bowl when the Ravens boasted the youngest team (19 rookies) in the NFL.
Billick finished by analyzing the dynamic of the Patriots' first regular season foe, the Bengals, saying Chad Ochocinco is probably viewed as the "silly, little brother" and he will make teammate Terrell Owens look like the "Rock of Gibraltar." He identified the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins as his dark-horse teams.

Sienna Miller Ditches the Tabloids for Broadway
Lots of people know Sienna Miller for her very public and very scandal-inducing relationships over the years. Because of that, many people forget she's one of Hollywood's most critically-adored and respected young actresses. The gorgeous British actress is looking to put her past behind her and get back to basics in Broadway's 'After Miss Julie. Speaking with the New York Times, Miller said: "This is what I have always wanted, to be on Broadway ... I'm living my dream, and that's all you can ask for. At a certain point you have to ignore all the rest." Sienna talks tabloid struggles after the jump!

On the Tabloid Culture: "I think I underestimated the way people bracket you ... I thought I could wear what I wanted and be an actress and live my life in a certain way, and it would all be all right."
Comparing Herself to Pal Keira Knightley: "I'm more frivolous. I haven't been as bright in some of the decisions I've made. Keira's just a more evolved person ... I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way, and I just don't have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change, but I can't obsess about it."
On Her Stage Transition: "This is what I have always wanted, to be on Broadway ... I'm living my dream, and that's all you can ask for. At a certain point you have to ignore all the rest."
On Live Acting: "I underestimated that a play like this requires incredible concentration, which is something that doesn't come naturally to me ... And I'm struggling with stamina and endurance. I'm not fit enough, and I've had to join a gym. I wake up every morning sounding like Marge Simpson and looking like something out of 'Gremlins.' "

The time will come for female cricketers. Just you wait and see

Guest Column : Mixed cricket? No thanks, boys
Players/Officials: Sarah Taylor
Teams: England
Dateline 2050. As the lights go up in a Sydney TV studio, a slim, trim figure takes the stage to tumultuous applause. Two full minutes elapse before the presenter can make herself heard above the din…
Presenter: Ladies and gentlemen, Meet the Legends is honoured to present a woman for whom no praise can be too high, the first woman ever to play men's professional cricket. She may be a Pom, but we love her all the same… Sarah Taylor.
Taylor: Thanks Marcie, great to be here. You may be whingeing Cobbers but the admiration is mutual.
Presenter: What a gal. Sixty years young today and still as witty as a kangaroo on coke. Only kidding, folks. Remind us how bad it used to be, how little you Poms valued women's cricket until you finally saw the light.
Taylor: Charlie Edwards told me that when she made her England debut in 1996, she not only had to play in a skirt but had to stump up 60 quid for her blazer. How jealous they were of you pampered Aussies back then. And I remember an interview with Gill Smith shortly after she'd helped us qualify for the 1993 World Cup final by bowling you lot out at Guildford, a day made especially memorable because the men were losing the Ashes. She reckoned she'd spent around 5000 quid of her own money flying the flag. Back then they often had to hire their own cars.
Presenter: Blimey.
Taylor: That wasn't the half of it. After training, the coach, Ruth Prideaux, had her living room crammed with sleeping bags by midnight. Gill was an office manager and had had to take half the time off on special leave, half on annual leave - and she was one of the lucky ones. If your employer was sexist, you'd had it. To present a more businesslike front, the organisers curbed the fundraising activities of Audrey Collins, president of the Women's Cricket Association and a member of what Sarah Potter, the playwright Dennis' daughter and an ex-international, had dubbed "the blue-rinse brigade". Selling chocolate bars to spectators was not the image required.
Presenter: But things had changed by the time you made your debut, hadn't they? The ECB were giving a fair chunk of the £2 million it channelled into its representative teams outside the senior men's side, plus a share of the £26 million for recreational cricket. Now there were full-time staff everywhere, and all the internationals and up-and-comers were benefiting from all sorts of specialist coaches, experts and analysts. Just like us. And by then even the Sri Lankans and West Indians were hosting big events and doling out central contracts.
Taylor: Yeah, sure, but with rewards, as you know, comes expectation. When we lost the Ashes, the World Twenty20 title and the World Cup in quick succession, it felt awful, even though our defeats were really close - we lost the T20 final to you lot by four runs, and in the World Cup to Sri Lanka by one wicket and to you lot, again, by two runs. By now the papers were covering us extensively, and painted us as failures. It didn't seem fair. I felt sorry for myself - we all did. One night I cried myself to sleep. But once I started imagining what it must be like for Alastair Cook and the boys, I slowly began to cope. If you wanted to be taken seriously, you had to make that leap, vast as it seemed.
Presenter: It was around then that you began talks over playing for the Sussex men's team…
Taylor: To be honest, that was an effing eff-up. It shouldn't have gone public - not then, not yet. We'd been talking for a few months about me playing for the second XI in the event of injury. A lot of nice things had been said about my keeping, so it made sense to approach me. Unfortunately the press jumped the gun, which forced the club to water everything down. It didn't help that someone unearthed an old quote from me in which I'd said I'd found Stuart Meaker's pace too hot. I'd said it when I was 15 and he was 18, for heaven's sake, but, naturally, that bit of context was never mentioned.
|By now the papers were covering us extensively, and painted us as failures. It didn't seem fair. But once I started imagining what it must be like for Alastair Cook and the boys, I slowly began to cope. If you wanted to be taken seriously, you had to make that leap
Presenter: You must have been surprised that it was you, rather than someone like Belinda Clark, who became the first woman to be subjected to that type of conjecture.
Taylor: You bet. Belinda hadn't simply been a fabulous player. She went on to run your academy, didn't she? I know the standard of professional cricket here was much higher in the nineties than it was in Britain, but still. If she couldn't crack it, who could?
Presenter: So what changed everything?
Taylor: Luck. Doesn't it always? Nasser Hussain had gone to watch his 14-year-old daughter play for Wanstead, in east London, and, just before the game began, one of her team-mates broke a finger in fielding practice, so the coach drafted in his own daughter - yeah, the coach was a man, naturally. I was there, too - as chance would have it, my cousin's daughter was playing for the visiting team. Eventually, with about ten overs remaining, this waif of a lass, thin as a pin, comes on to bowl and immediately turned one a mile to bowl a girl who had made 50-odd and looked totally in command. Then she did the same the very next ball to the incoming batsman, this time turning it the opposite way. I was sitting next to Nasser, and as we looked at each other, our eyes widened and our eyebrows headed in the same direction - skywards.
Presenter: And thus did the best-kept secret in sport begin.
Taylor: It was so obvious she had something incredibly special, all the more so when she took six for nothing next time out, but we weren't going to make the same mistake again. I urged Nasser not to say anything to his pal at the Daily Mail and for the next two years we kept it all quieter than a mouse with tonsilitis. We even persuaded the girl to change her name. Alicia Smith-Patel sounded a bit dodgy anyway, not to mention far too posh. Elisha Patel was far more, y'know, street. Far more believable.
Presenter: But surely it was in the best interests of the national team to get her into the side as soon as possible?
Taylor: Of course it was, but this was bigger, far bigger than that. Elisha had the potential to make history, to inspire girls the world over, not just cricketers.
Presenter: So, fast-forward a couple of years and there you are, in another World Cup, playing against the mighty Aussies, side by side.
Taylor: We boxed clever there, too, keeping her under wraps in the early games because we knew we could win those without her. By the time I brought her on we'd lulled them into a state of false confidence - 50 for none, if memory serves, chasing 250. Boy, were they insufferable. It took every ounce of mental strength I had to wait that long, but it was worth it. She threw her first ball up high outside leg, drew the batsman forward, then it dipped, spun backwards and bounded on to hit off. She'd done that to me in the nets any number of times, so I wasn't surprised at all.
Presenter: The fact that the victim was a certain Brooke Warne didn't hurt, did it?
Taylor: You bet. I hadn't heard anyone shriek that loud since the time my mate insisted we went to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.
Presenter: So how come you beat Elisha into a men's county team?
Taylor: We wanted to make things as pressure-free for her as possible. If she'd have been the first, she'd have been too young to cope - that much became clear after the first tweet of her dismissal of Warne. In her first interview with the Sun, she broke down in tears because the journalist asked if she was a lesbian. She hadn't told her parents yet. The very next day I sat down with the ECB bigwigs and the Sussex coach, Mark Robinson, a wise and extremely sensitive man. He said he thought it would be best for Elisha if I kept wicket for the first XI in the next match. It was the most thrilling moment of my life.
Presenter: And as the world now knows of course, you became Lady Sarah of Hove and Elisha became the first woman to represent any national men's team, in any major ballgame, and later just the second female Pom to be elected PM - and, I should add, a damned sight better than the first one. What's your abiding memory of those heady times?
Taylor: The moment Joni Mitchell tapped me on the shoulder during a Championship match at Lord's and told me how proud she was of me. To get that sort of affirmation, from a Canadian who'd spent her first seven decades thinking cricket was something that chirped - that made my life. I framed the bat she signed that day. She even quoted my favourite Joni line, from - and I'm sure you'll like this - a song called "Marcie":
Marcie leaves and doesn't tell us Where or why she moved away Red is angry green is jealous That was all she had to say

For Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, it was another summer of dreams and possibilities after a relatively disappointing 2013-2014 season that ended in dramatic fashion in the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Clippers. During the offseason last year, there was some talk about the possibility of Dwight Howard having interest in joining the Warriors. It was unlikely (and never materialized), but the interest alone elevated the team's status to a destination that was slowly but surely becoming
Three-Man Weave: What Deal Should Wolves Take for Love?
The recent rookie signings of Doug McDermott in Chicago and Andrew Wiggins in Cleveland put the possibility of a Kevin Love trade in a temporary holding pattern. Rookies cannot be traded in the first 30 days after signing their deals, so we are looking at late August before Minnesota Timberwolves GM Flip Saunders can complete a deal for his All-Star power forward. But that doesn't mean Saunders can't discuss those deals or another possible trade with the Golden State Warriors, whose proposal does
SH Blog: Gibson admits trade rumors are tough, Minnesota shows no urgency to get a deal done with Cleveland
It's no secret that Kevin Love wants out of town, and that means rumors will circulate throughout the summer as the Minnesota Timberwolves try to figure out what deal will help cope with the loss of their franchise player. On Wednesday, our Chris Sheridan revealed what the Chicago Bulls offered for the coveted power forward, and it may be the best deal out there for Flip Saunders – at least for the time being: The Chicago Bulls have offered a package of Taj Gibson and

Jackson has led the Warriors to the playoffs in consecutive years—with a 98-66 record over that two-year span, making him the first Golden State coach since Don Nelson to accomplish the feat. However, two years of on-court success—each slowed by nagging injuries—could not prevent team owners from

The resort city has witnessed a rash of unrest after 43 students disappeared in Guerrero in September, the embassy said in a statement released Friday.

President Obama has authorized U.S. forces to remain in Afghanistan even after the combat mission ends there on Dec. 31, officials have confirmed to NBC News. A senior U.S. official told NBC News that the president recently decided that American troops will likely be involved in offensive operations -- described as "two narrow missions" -- against the Taliban even though U.S. mission was supposed to merely train, advise and assist Afghan forces after 2014. The New York Times first reported the classified order that allows a greater combat role for U.S. forces that remain in Afghanistan than had previously been expected. Get More at NBC News

The report contested various rumors, including that the military was ordered to "stand down" during the attacks and that the CIA was involved in arms shipments or other unauthorized activities. The report did say that the initial narrative by the White House, which said the attack stemmed from a protest, was inaccurate, but blamed that on contradictory intelligence assessments in the aftermath of the attack rather than an effort to obscure the truth.

GOP darling Christie to visit VermontBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | November 08,2013AP PHOTO
Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, center, stands Thursday in a hallway at the Statehouse in Trenton, N.J. Christie will be the featured guest at a Vermont GOP fundraiser next month.MONTPELIER New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, invited to the state by a moderate group within the Vermont GOP, will be the featured guest next month at the partys Welcome Winter Gala fundraiser.
The event, hosted by Lt. Gov. Phil Scott and Stowe Rep. Heidi Scheuermann, is being held at the Robert E. Miller Expo Centre in Essex Junction on Dec. 11. A digital invitation featuring Christies name was distributed to party members Thursday morning and promises Vermont food, beverages and entertainment.
Christie cruised to re-election Tuesday by a comfortable margin 60 percent to 38 percent over his Democratic challenger Barbara Buono in the blue-leaning Garden State. The governor, known for speaking bluntly and being unafraid to clash with conservatives in his own party, is widely viewed as a contender for the GOPs presidential nomination in 2016.
I think his style is interesting and exciting. Speaking his mind, I think, is refreshing, Scott said Wednesday.
Scott took a lead role in organizing next months event after having been critical of conservative Republican guest speakers at previous GOP events. Recent fundraisers have featured Steve Forbes, who ran for president in 1996 and 2000, and Maines tea party-backed Gov. Paul LePage, who was raising money for Randy Brock, the GOPs unsuccessful 2012 gubernatorial candidate.
It was suggested that I should maybe organize one myself if I thought I could do better. So, I took the challenge, he said.
Scott said he and a team of moderate Vermont Republicans looking to re-brand the state party decided that Christie, somewhat of a maverick and moderate on the national GOP stage, would be appropriate for Vermont. Scott said he hopes Christies visit will serve as the launch of a new direction for the Vermont GOP, turning away somewhat from the national party.
Chris Christies name came up a number of times, and Heidi had a connection in New Jersey, said the lieutenant governor, who is engaged in an intra-party battle for control of the Vermont GOP that will likely culminate this weekend when the party holds its state convention and elects new officers.
It was to bring something new and refreshing, Scott added. Ive been working with a group to try and change the direction of the party and re-energize and re-focus. We thought that this was a good way to kick that off.
Scott said there are some similarities between Vermont and New Jersey. Both are blue states, and New Jersey, recovering from Hurricane Sandy, faced challenges like Vermont did following Tropical Storm Irene.
I think theres a lot of political similarities between New Jersey and Vermont, Scott said. Theres some similar stories in how they resurrected and what they had to go through. I just think we can certainly see some common bonds there.
Christie is slated to take over the Republican Governors Association next year. Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, meanwhile, heads the Democratic Governors Association, setting up a head-to-head political showdown as the two promote gubernatorial candidates across the country ahead of the 2014 election.
It should make for some interesting one-liners. I think they are both very quick on their feet, Scott, a member of Shumlins cabinet, said.
Tickets to the fundraising event are set at $50 per person. For $1,000 couples can attend a private reception with Christie before the cocktail hour and dinner.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER New management plans for a vast section of Vermonts remote Northeast Kingdom an...

text: Chapter Ⅰ USM Definition Of USM Material Removing Process: USM is used to erode holes and cavities in hard or brittle workpieces by using shaped tools high-frequency mechanical motion and an abrasive slurry. USM is able to ef-fectively machine all hard materials whether they are electrically conductive or not. Principle Of USM The process and cutting tool • The process is performed by a cutting tool, which oscillates at high frequency, typically 20-40 kHz, in abrasive slurry. • The shape of the tool corresponds to the shape to be produced in the workpiece. • The high-speed reciprocations of the tool drive the abrasive grains across a small gap against the workpiece . • The tool is gradually fed with a uniform force. • The impact of the abrasive is the energy principally responsible for material removal in the form of small wear particles that are carried away by the abrasive slurry. • The tool material, being tough and ductile, wears out at a much slower rate. Principle Of USM Ultrasonic Machining Principle Of USM Elements of ultrasonic machining • The tool is oscillated by a longitudinal magnetostriction • A magnetic field variation at ultrasonic frequencies • The length of a ferromagnetic object changes Principle Of USM Material removal • Occurs when the abrasive particles, suspended in the slurry between the tool and workpiece, are struck by the downstroke of the vibration tool. • The impact propels the particles across the cutting gap, hammering them into the surface of both tool and workpiece. Collapse of the cavitation bubbles in the abrasive suspension results in very high local pressures. • Under the action of the associated shock waves on the abrasive particles, microcracks are generated at the interface of the workpiece. • The effects of successive shock waves lead to chipping of particles from the workpiece. Principle Of USM Material removal Principle Of USM The basic components to the cutting action are believed to be 1 2 3 3 4 USM System • Small, tabletop-sized units to large-capacity machine tools, • Bench units, and as self-contained machine tools. • Power range from about 40 W to 2.5 kW. • The power rating strongly influences the material removal rate. USM System Subsystems of USM System B A C E D USM System A • The power supply is a sine-wave generator • The user can control over both the frequency and power of the generated signal. • It converts low-frequency (50/60 Hz) power to high-frequency (10-15 kHz) power • Supply to the transducer for conversion into mechanical motion. USM System B • Two types of transducers are used in USM to convert the supplied energy to mechanical motion. • They are based on two different principles of operation - Magnetostriction - Piezoelectricity USM System B • Magnetostrictive transducers are usually constructed from a laminated stack of nickel or nickel alloy sheets. • Magnetostriction is explained in terms of domain theory . USM System B • Domains are very small regions, of the order of l0-8 ~ l0-9 cm3, • In which there are forces that cause the magnetic moments of the atoms to be oriented in a single direction. • In each domain the atomic magnetic moments are oriented in one of the directions of easy magnetization USM System B • In the cubic-lattice crystals of iron and nickel there are six directions of easy magnetization. • In unmagnetized material all these directions are present in equal numbers, the magnetic moments of the orderless, unorientated domains compensate one another USM System B • When the material is placed in a sufficiently strong magnetic field, the magnetic moments of the domains rotate into the direction of the applied magnetic field and become parallel to it. • During this process the material expands or contracts, until all the domains have become parallel to one another. USM System B • As the temperature is raised, the amount of magnetostrictive strain diminishes . • Magnetostrictive transducers require cooling by fans or water. USM System B • Such as quartz or lead,zirconate,titanate, generate a small electric current when compressed. • Conversely, when an electric current is applied, the material increases minutely in size. • When the current is removed, the material instantly returns to its original shape. USM System B • Piezoelectric materials are composed of small particles bound together by sintering. • The material undergoes polarization by heating it above the Curie point. • Such transducers exhibit a high electromechanical conversion efficiency that eliminates the need for cooling. USM System B • The magnitude of the length change is limited by the strength of the particular transducer material. • The limit is approximately 0.025 mm. USM System C • Its function is to increase the tool vibration amplitude and to match the vibrator to the acoustic load. • It must be constructed of a material with good acoustic properties and be highly resistant to fatigue cracking. USM System C • Monel and titanium have good acoustic properties and are often used together with stainless steel, which is cheaper. • However, stainless steel has acoustical and fatigue properties that are inferior to those of Monel and titanium, limiting it to low-amplitude applications. • Nonamplifying holders are cylindrical and result in the same stroke amplitude at the output end as at the input end. • Amplifying toolholders have a cross section that diminishes toward the tool, often following an exponential function. • An amplifying toolholder is also called a concentrator. USM System C • Amplifying holders remove material up to 10 times faster than the nonamplifying type. • The disadvantages of amplifying toolholders include increased cost to fabricate, a reduction in surface finish quality, and the requirement of much more frequent running to maintain resonance. USM System D • Tools should be constructed from relatively ductile materials. • The harder the tool material, the faster its wear rate will be. • It is important to realize that finishing or polishing operations on the tools are sometimes necessary because their surface finish will be reproduced in the workpiece. USM System D • The geometry of the tool generally corresponds to the geometry of the cut to be made, • Because of the overcut, tools are slightly smaller than the desired hole or cavity • Tool and toolholder are often attached by silver brazing. USM System E • The criteria for selection of an abrasive for a particular application include hardness, usable life, cost, and particle size. • Diamond is the fastest abrasive, but is not practical because of its cost. • Boron carbide is economical and yields good machining rates. • Silicon carbide and aluminum oxide are also widely used. USM System E • Coarse grits exhibit the highest removal rates,when the grain size becomes comparable with the tool amplitude, cut more slowly. • The larger the grit size, the rougher the machined surface. USM System E • With an abrasive concentration of about 50% by weight in water,but thinner mixtures are used to promote efficient flow when drilling deep holes or when forming complex cavities. USM System E USM System Example • Find the machining time for a hole 5mm in diameter in a tungsten carbide plate 1cm thick. • The grains are 0.01mm in diameter, the feed force is 3N, and the amplitude of oscillation is 20 micro m at a frequency of 25KHz. • The fracture hardness is approximately 6900N/mm2. • The slurry is mixed in equal parts water and abrasive. USM System Example - Basic machine layout The acoustic head is the most complicated part of the machine. It must provide a static force, as well as the high frequency vibration USM System Example - Basic machine layout Magnetostrictive materials should have a good coupling of magnetic and mechanical energy USM System Example Basic machine layout USM System USM System • If a tool is designed to increase flow, better cutting speeds will occur. • Tools - hard but ductile metal - stainless steel and low carbon - aluminum and brass tools wear near 5 to 10 times faster • Abrasive Slurry - common types of abrasive - boron carbide (B4C) good in general, but expensive - silicon carbide (SiC) glass, germanium, ceramics - corundum (Al2O3) - diamond (used for rubies , etc) - boron silicon-carbide (10% more abrasive than B4C) USM System • liquid - water most common - benzene - glycerol - oils • high viscosity decreases mrr • typical grit size is 100 to 800 Little production of heat and stress, but may chip at exit side of hole. Sometimes glass is used on the back side for brittle materials. Summary of USM • Mechanics of material removal - brittle fracture caused by impact of abrasive grains due to vibrating at high frequency • Medium - slurry • Abrasives: B4C; SiC; Al2O3; diamond; 100-800 grit size • Vibration freq. 15-30 KHz, amplitude 25-100 micro m • Tool material soft steel • Material/tool wear = 1.5 for WC workpiece, 100 for glass • Gap 25-40 micro m • Critical parameters - frequency, amplitude, tool material, grit size, abrasive material, feed force, slurry concentration, slurry viscosity • Material application - metals and alloys (particularly hard and brittle), semiconductors, nonmetals, e.g., glass and ceramics • Shape application - round and irregular holes, impressions • Limitations - very low mrr, tool wear, depth of holes, and cavities small. General Questions 1. A cylindrical impression with a diameter of 10mm and a depth of 1mm has to be made on a tungsten carbide surface. The feed force is constant and equal to 5N. The average diameter of the grains in the abrasive slurry is 0.01mm. The tool oscillates with an amplitude of 30 micro m at 20 KHz. The slurry contains 1 part of abrasive to about 1 part of water. The fracture hardness of tungsten carbide workpiece may be taken as 7000 N/mm2. Estimate the machining time. General Questions 2. A square through hole of 5mm by 5mm has to be drilled in a 5mm thick tungsten carbide sheet. The slurry is made of 1 part of 10 micro m radius boron carbide grains mixed with 1.5 parts of water. The feed force is 4N. The tool oscillates with an amplitude of 0.015mm at 25KHz. Assuming that only 20% of the pulses are effective, calculate the time required to complete the job. 3. In an ECM operation, a pure copper block is being machined. If a current of 5000A is used, determine the volume rate of material removal from the copper block. General Questions 4. The composition of a Nimonic alloy turbine blade is 18% cobalt, 62% Ni, and 20% chromium. It is being machined electrochemically with a current of 1500A. Find out the volume removal rate if the density of the alloy is 8.3g/cm3. The dissolution valency of chromium is 6, whereas that for both nickel and cobalt is 2. 5.

A magnitude 5.9 earthquake that rattled Virginia and much of the northern East Coast caused instruments at Wright State University-Lake Campus to jump Tuesday afternoon.
The quake struck shortly before 2 p.m. and its epicenter was near Mineral, Va., west of Richmond. The impact of the quake caused a monitoring station at the Lake Campus to jump and the Auglaize County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) reported receiving numerous telephone calls regarding an earthquake.
Approximately 70 child pedestrians, who were between the ages of 5 to 15 years of age were severely injured in Ohio during the 2010-11 school year.
As the summer winds down, and students are back in school, an area police chief encourages motorist and pedestrians to stay alert in residential areas, near schools and in school zones.
ÔÇťThe first week of school is where we see the most problems,ÔÇŁ Cridersville Police Chief John Drake said.
Louis William Doenges, age 91, 8861 Guadalupe Road., New Bremen, died at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21, 2011, at Briarwood Village in Coldwater.
He was born May 7, 1920, in St. Marys,the son of Marie (Oldiges) and William J. Doenges. On Aug. 19, 1944, in McCartyville, he married Lucille K. Huecker and she died March 2, 2005.
A group of residents living in a local apartment complex joined together to provide a Back to School Bash for children in the community.
ÔÇťItÔÇÖs the first year for us to try something like this,ÔÇŁ Valley View Volunteer Program President Jennifer Young said.
Just a couple months into its inception, residents have used the program to get those living in the complex to become part of a larger community, starting with flower plantings and cookouts and then into the back to school bash, which they hope serves as a building block for more plans in the future.
WAYNESFIELD ÔÇö An issue over selecting new employee health benefits seemed to be finally settled only after a flurry of questions resulted in an Auglaize County villageÔÇÖs elected officials postponing the decision temporarily once again.
Applications are currently being accepted for a class that is designed to help community members have a better understanding of Auglaize County.
ÔÇťThe main purpose of the program is to provide people with a greater understanding of county operations and services in the county,ÔÇŁ Wapakoneta Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dan Graf said.
The Defiance Bulldogs defeated the Wapakoneta Redskins 200-219 in a key Western Buckeye League girls golf match Monday at the Wapakoneta Country Club.
Both teams struggled. But Defiance struggled less as it pulled out the win.
ÔÇťEverybody seemed kind of sluggish,ÔÇŁ Wapak coach Dawn West said. ÔÇťWe were just one step behind all day.ÔÇŁ
Shelby Kohler carded a 46 to lead the Redskins and earn medalist honors.
ÔÇťShelby played really well,ÔÇŁ West said. ÔÇťShe had the opportunity to shoot even lower.ÔÇŁ
Courtney Knippen shot a 56, followed by Bryly Beaman with a 57 and Hannah smith with a 60.
The Wapakoneta Redskins varsity boys golf team was unable to take advantage of its home course advantage as it suffered a two-stroke loss to the Elida Bulldogs in a Western Buckeye League dual match Monday at Wapakoneta Country Club.
Elida defeated the Redskins 175-177.
ÔÇťWhen you play at home, you have to win at home to have a chance at the WBL title,ÔÇŁ Wapak coach Ken Wayman said. ÔÇťI tell the kids every stroke counts in a golf match. We can never assume we are out of a match. We have to always grind it out and play smart golf.
Emily Jean McCune, 79, of rural Mendon, died at 3:20 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011, at the Golden Valley Living Center in St. Marys.
She was born Sept. 22, 1931, in Auglaize County, the daughter of Catherine S. (Brodbeck) and Merle Shimp. On June 21, 1951, she married Harold W. McCune who survives.
Also surviving are a son, Neal A. McCune, of Mendon; and two daughters, Nancy L. Hartung, of Madison, Ind., and Cathy S. Williams, of Rockford.
Betty E. LaWarre, 90, of Titusville, Fla., formerly of Cridersville, died at 5:15 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, 2011, at the Tranquility Haven Care Center in Titusville.
She was born July 26, 1921, in Lima, the daughter of Minerva M. (Eulrich) and William A. Biddinger.
On May 23, 1942, she married Robert W. LaWarre Sr., who died April 24, 1997.
Surviving are two sons, Robert W. LaWarre II, of Memphis, Tenn., and Ned LaWarre, of Titusville, Fla.
Preceding her in death was a son, Timothy D. LaWarre; and a daughter, Pennie L. Tone.

NASCAR Sprint Cup/Truck doubleheader set for Sunday
Mar 29, 2014, 4:33 PM EST
A doubleheader is now on tap for tomorrow at Martinsville Speedway after NASCAR's decision to postpone today's Camping World Truck Series' Kroger 250 due to persistent rain.
The Trucks' second race of the 2014 season is expected to begin around 5:30 p.m. ET, following the conclusion of the STP 500 for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The green flag for that race will drop shortly after 1 p.m. ET.
Rain has officially scratched all sessions that were scheduled for today in Martinsville: Two Sprint Cup practices, the Truck qualifying session, and now, the Truck race itself. The race was originally set for a 2:30 p.m. ET start.
After Truck qualifying was rained out, the Kroger 250 grid was set on practice speeds, which means that Darrell Wallace Jr. will be in the pole position for tomorrow's "bonus feature." Ryan Blaney will start alongside him in the front row.
Sunday's forecast has rain still possible but primarily in the morning hours, with temperatures warming up into the low 50s under party sunny and windy conditions.
Additionally, Martinsville has issued the following statement for ticket-holders:

Lemme guess... One of her alt skins will be... Basketball Orianna!
Looks like Q>W>E basic damage combo? Wonder what her scaleing is gonna be like, assumeing AP. Guessing AP/AS is gonna be the basic build to take advantage of her passive. When I think about it, the idea is alittle boring. IDK we'll see in game I guess.
gun fu panda
She looks...interesting.
Is "the ball" the most creative name you guys could come up with?
I dont like her much, i like the details in the skil and the mech ball, but, she reminds me a lot of C-3PO, and i don't like C-3PO.
Like her history anyway.
Nice champion!!
Looks very interesting!
I think a great element would be to make her ultimate pull the all things in an area (after a short delay) to the opposite side of the circle (like a mix of Galio and Urgot's ultimate).
Metal boobs. Mmmm.
