The prediction of chatter vibrations between the cutter and workpiece is important as a guidance to the machine tool user for an optimal selection of depth of cut and spindle rotation, resulting in maximum chip removal rate without this undesirable vibration. This can be done by some approaches. In this work, an analytical method is applied in which the time-varying directional dynamic milling ...

In Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) the breakage of the cutting tool (the wire) reduces the process performance and the required accuracy. Previous works of authors showed that the behavior of the basic signals of the process (current and voltage) can be employed to detect degraded situations that can lead to wire breakage. In particular, different types of degraded behaviors in two c...

A better understanding of saw-chain cutting mechanics is needed for more efficient chainsaw designs. The effects of varying key parameters such as workpiece moisture content, workpiece density, cutting velocity, and depth-of-cut, while established for other types of cutting, are largely unexplored and/or unpublished for saw chains. This study contributes to filling this gap through experimentat...

In this Part II, a thorough investigation of the melting of the electrode; the droplet formation, detachment, transfer and impingement onto the workpiece, and the weld-pool formation and dynamics was conducted. The transient melt-flow velocity and temperature distributions in the droplet and in the weld pool were calculated. The resulting crater in the weld pool and the weld-pool oscillation du...

Under normal machining conditions, the cutting forces are primarily due to the bulk shearing of the workpiece material in a narrow zone called the shear zone. However, under finishing conditions, when the uncut chip thickness is of the order of the cutting edge radius, a ploughing component of the forces becomes significant as compared to the shear forces. Predicting forces under these conditio...

Pricing Prototypical Products When we think of colas, Coca-Cola first comes to mind. Products such as Cola-Cola, Tide laundry detergent and Chapstick lip balm are the prototypical products in their respective categories. Over three decades, research in consumer psychology has accumulated evidence on how prototypicality structures memory, shapes the composition of consideration set and influence...

During many manufacturing processes for surface treatment of steel components heat will be exchanged between the environment and workpiece. The exchange commonly leads to temperature gradients within near area workpiece, which involve mechanical strains inside material. If corresponding stresses exceed locally yield strength material residual can remain after process. increase is high enough ad...

• Theoretical model is proposed for predicting compressive residual stress in abrasive waterjet peening. Abrasive sizes, spatial position, and velocity distribution beam are considered prediction model. Material work hardening multiple overlapping impacts. on the workpiece depends number of peening, traverse speed, jet centre distance. Distribution predicted based peening surface topography. (A...
