Mádr, V. ; Sitek, Libor ; Hela, R. ; Hlaváč, L. M. ; Bodnárová, L. ; Pustelník, J. ; Janurová, E.
The concrete samples with various erosion states were disintegrated by pure continuous water jets generated from pressure 380 MPa in the Liquid jet laboratory at the VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava. Simultaneously, the identical concrete samples were tested by pulsing water jets generated by low pressure 30 MPa in the Department of Material Disintegration at the Institute of Geonics of the AS CR. The erosion states of samples were prepared by application of several laboratory techniques simulating the concrete aging under the natural conditions due to the real applications in practice. They were prepared at the 127 Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components of the Brno University of Technology. The influence of the erosion state on the disintegration rate was tested and the surface topography was studied. The comparison of both the depth of penetration and the volume disintegration ratio regarding the input power is performed.

Modulated vs. continuous jets: Performance comparison
Foldyna, Josef ; Sitek, Libor
Performance of ultrasonically modulated jets in cutting of various materials was tested in laboratory conditions in the Institute of Geonics in Ostrava. Results obtained in cutting of brass, mild steel, rock and concrete samples using modulated water jets are presented. The results are compared with those obtained with continuous jets at the same operating parameters. Potential of forced modulation of the jet is discussed.

Measurement of force effects of modulated jet
Foldyna, Josef ; Sitek, Libor ; Jekl, Pavel ; Nováková, Daria
Results obtained in measurement of force effects of water jets modulated by ultrasonic vibration of a tip situated inside the nozzle are presented. Both method of modulation of the jet and method of measurement of force effects of the jet are briefly described. Potential of the measurement of force of modulated jets in determination of optimum configuration of the ultrasonic nozzle is discussed.
