Abstract

This study is concerned with the development of a practical procedure for the measurement of forces exerted on a workpiece in the impingment zone. Two piezoelectric transducers Kistler Co. measuring three components of the force were used to construct an experimental setup. The output of the transducers through an amplifier is connected to readout devices. This set up enables us to investigate the dynamics of the force development. In order to validate the designed procedure, the forces are measured simultaneously by the transducer and strain gauge. The difference between two measurements does not exceed 5%. Monitoring forces developed by a water jet containing and not containing abrasive particles reveal some peculiarities of jet behavior.
