fatigue behavior of a vanadium microalloy steel has been studied in this research. here, microstructure constituents were considered which essentially are dependent on the heat treatment conditions. the results of high cycle fatigue tests revealed that heat treatment procedure and cooling rates have significant effects on fatigue properties. optimal heat treatment cycle of the microalloyed stee...

The decision of the inflection point is the key to ensure automatic section cutting precision using a boom-type road header. In this paper, cutting precision model was set up for the first time to trapezoidal section and a method determining inflection point is given. Considered the cutting head’ projection at section is elliptical with the cantilever’s joint variable. The relationship between ...

This paper investigates the effect of different cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut) on cutting force components and material removal rate (MRR) in dry and wet hard turning processes. The workpiece material, hardened alloy steel AISI 52100, was machined on a CNC lathe with coated carbide tool under different settings of cutting parameters. Three cutting parameters eac...

This article presents a process improvement study applied at a local paper manufacturing company based on customized Lean Six Sigma methodologies. More specifically, the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) project management methodology and various lean tools are utilized to streamline processes and enhance productivity. Two performance measures namely production rate and Ove...

Many numerical computations show a small difference only between the optimal value of the one-dimensional cutting stock problem and that of its corresponding linear programming relaxation. In this paper we investigate the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with respect to the modified integer round-up property (MIRUP) and present some results on subproblems having the MIRUP.
