Abstract
Although several theoretical and experimental models have been developed for abrasive
waterjet machining (AWJM), the exact nature of erosion is not yet understood. This paper
presents an attempt to model AWJM using the finite element method (FEM) in order to
explain the abrasive particle–workpiece interaction process. Also, the model predicts the
depth of deformation as a result of abrasive particle impact. The main objective is to develop
an FE model which would enable the prediction of the depth of cut without any cutting ...
