Ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the most extensively utilized supporting materials inside total knee replacement (TKR) because of its combination of outstanding mechanical qualities and wear resistance. The integrity of the hole is an essential component for fastening the femur and tibia elements in knee replacements. Due to its viscoelasticity behavior, it often causes difficulties such as rapid tool wear, burr formation, and poor finish in conventional machining operations, which causes poor hole features. Since unconventional methods are currently being investigated for drilling UHMWPE. Abrasive water jet drilling (AWJD) is particularly promising for handling hard-to-machine materials, and AWJ drilling of UHMWPE materials demands focus on it. The focus of this research is to determine the importance of AWJD variables for UHMWPE. In this experiment, 64 holes, each with a diameter of 10mm, were drilled into the sample material using a complete factorial approach to evaluation. Abrasive water jet pressure (AWJP) (210, 260, 310, and 360MPa), abrasive mass flow rate (AMFR) (250, 300, 350, and 400g/min.), and traverse rate (TR) (150, 300, 450, and 600mm/min.) were all taken into account. Furthermore, the geometrical properties of the hole, such as hole diameter (entry and exit), circularity, perpendicularity, and cylindricity, were investigated. The outcomes identified that both AWJP and TR played significant roles in determining the geometric features of the hole. During the drilling operation, the material removal mechanism and the hole defects were observed and identified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

This paper is concerned with designing algorithms for and analyzing the computational complexity of the partial vertex cover problem in trees. Graphs (and trees) are frequently used to model risk management in various systems. In particular, Caskurlu et al. in [4] have considered a system which essentially represents a tripartite graph. The goal in this model is to reduce the risk in the system below a predefined risk threshold level. It can be shown that the main goal in this risk management system can be formulated as a Partial Vertex Cover problem on bipartite graphs. In this paper, we focus on a special case of the partial vertex cover problem, when the input graph is a tree. We consider four possible versions of this setting, depending on whether or not, the vertices and edges are weighted. Two of these versions, where edges are assumed to be unweighted, are known to be polynomial-time solvable. However, the computational complexity of this problem with weighted edges, and possibly with weighted vertices, remained open. The main contribution of this paper is to resolve these questions by fully characterizing which variants of partial vertex cover remain NP-hard in trees, and which can be solved in polynomial time. In the paper, we propose two pseudo-polynomial DP-based algorithms for the most general case in which weights are present on both the edges and the vertices of the tree. One of these algorithms leads to a polynomial-time procedure, when weights are confined to the edges of the tree. The insights used in this algorithm are combined with additional scaling ideas to derive an FPTAS for the general case. A secondary contribution of this work is to propose a novel way of using centroid decompositions in trees, which could be useful in other settings as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
