PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOP ON THE APPLICATION OF HIGH PRESSURE WATER JET CUTTING TECHNOLOGY, HELD AT ROLLA, MISSOURI, ON NOVEMBER 10-11, 1975

These proceedings describe the workshop held at the University of Missouri-Rolla, on the subject of water jet cutting. The underlying purposes of the workshop were twofold: (1) to bring together the leading investigators in order that they may meet, delineate the state-of-the-art, and exchange ideas for future development; (2) to indicate the strengths and weaknesses of the water jet system, to point out areas where the differing available systems are each most effective, and to suggest areas for future research. Panel discussions were held on the following topics: (1) Jet Application to Coal Mining; (2) Jet Application in the Cutting of Rock, Soil, and Concrete; and (3) Other Applications and Theoretical Considerations.
