In this study, we aim to develop a narrow-diameter and long-bore device for minimally invasive surgery that achieves the simultaneous cutting and suction of body tissue such as the diseased part of an organ. In this paper, we propose a screw made of a thin metal plate, and we developed a prototype device using this screw. For smooth operation, the suction performance must be superior to the cut...

This experimental workanalysis the influence of cutting conditions on surface roughness of EN-8during machining by CNC turning. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is employed to investigate the influence of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut and coolant type on surface roughness height Ra. The influence of the interaction of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and coolant type on surface r...

The current experimental study is to investigate the effects of process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on performance characteristics (surface roughness, machining force and flank wear) in hard turning of AISI 4340 steel with multilayer CVD (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3) coated carbide insert. Combined effects of cutting parameter (v, f, d) on performance outputs (Ra, Fm and VB) are e...

In high speed cutting, the mean flank temperature is not likely to be less than that on the rake face, that is, the cutting temperature, as the undeformed chip thickness is very thin and of the same order of cutting edge radius. To measure the flank mean temperature, it is critically important to mount the artificial thermocouple properly in the workpiece. A new thermocouple mounting arrangemen...

Old age is associated with poorer movement skill, as indexed by reduced speed and accuracy. Nevertheless, reductions in speed and accuracy can also reflect compensation as well as deficit. We used a manual tracing and a driving task to identify generalized spatial and temporal compensations and deficits associated with old age. In Experiment 1, participants used a hand-held stylus to trace a pa...

The present study investigates the failure mechanisms of industrial fiber materials 13 a custom designed fiber cutting performance test bench. The fracture morpholog 14 fibers are examined by scanning electron microscopy. The analysis reveals that fiber cutting can be 15 distinguished according to four distinct stages of fiber failure represented by shearing, cutting, 16 brittle fracture, and t...
