An analytical finite element technique was developed for predicting the thrust force and torque in drilling with twist drills. The approach was based on representing the cutting forces along the cutting lips as a series of oblique sections. Similarly, cutting in the chisel region was treated as orthogonal cutting with different cutting speeds depending on the radial location. For each section, ...

The condition of a cutting tool is an important factor in manufacturing processes. Tool wear has a strong influence on the cutting forces, resulting in a poor surface finish and impacting on the dimensional tolerance of the workpiece. Therefore, the use of a dynamometer during machining to measure cutting forces is a well-known approach but it has several limitations such as high cost, poor per...

ABSTRACT In this paper, the phenomenon of chatter vibration in metal cutting is investigated. For this purpose, a theoretical one-degree of freedom model of the vibrations generated in an orthogonal cutting process is developed. The dynamic cutting forces are strongly affected by the variations of the cutting process parameters, and the model is based on the mechanical theoretical prediction of...

In machining industry, cutting fluids have an important role due to their lubrication, cooling and chip removal functions. Using of cutting fluids can improve machining process efficiency, tool life, surface quality and it can reduce cutting forces and vibrations. However, health and environmental problems are encountered with the use of cutting fluids. Therefore, there has been a high demand f...

This paper presents a novel and scalable experimental platform for biomechanical analysis of tissue cutting that exploits a triaxial force-sensitive scalpel and a high resolution vision system. Real-time measurements of cutting forces can be used simultaneously with accurate visual information in order to extract important biomechanical clues in real time that would aid the surgeon during minim...

This work proposes a process planning for machining of a Floor which is the most prominent elemental machining feature in a 21⁄2D pocket. Traditionally, the process planning of 21⁄2D pocket machining is posed as stand-alone problem involving either tool selection, tool path generation or machining parameter selection, resulting in sub-optimal plans. For this reason, the tool path generation and...

Titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V and nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 have been widely employed in modern manufacturing. The published literature on high speed machining (HSM) of the two materials often involves different machining set-up, which makes it difficult to directly apply the research findings from onematerial to the other to select the most appropriate tool geometry and cutting conditions...
