High-speed machining (HSM) has emerged as a key technology in rapid tooling and manufacturing applications. Compared with traditional machining, the cutting speed, feed rate has been great progress, and the cutting mechanism is not the same. HSM with coated carbide cutting tools used in high-speed, high temperature situations and cutting more efficient and provided a lower surface roughness. Ho...

Cutting processes are unstable machining processes. The influence of the instability on the deformation mechanism that leads to the chip formation at the atomic scale is analysed in this paper. Fundamental aspects of the crystalline networks deformation are underlined by using molecular dynamics technique applied to the microscopic level of the deformed material and are defined as basic instabi...

Signal processing using orthogonal cutting force components for tool condition monitoring has established itself in literature. In the application of single axis strain sen­ sors however a linear combination of cutting force compo­ nents has to be processed in order to monitor tool wear. This situation may arise when a single axis piezoelectric actuator is simultaneously used as an actuator and...

Force control is an effective means of improving the quality and productivity of machining operations. Metal cutting force models are difficult to accurately generate and, thus, there is large uncertainty in the model parameters. This has lead to investigations into robust force control techniques; however, the approaches reported in the literature include known process changes (e.g., a change ...

The material detachment mechanisms of ductile metal surfaces are studied experimentally during dry grinding operation in a simulated experiment with near single grit contact with the surface. The spectra of the cutting and thrust forces are recorded and analyzed. It is found that the thrust force changes its direction from a compressive to a tensile mode. The ratio between the thrust and cuttin...

This paper presents simulation of cutting process by turning of polyamide PA 66, the simulation based on approach Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian, ALE. Was taken into account a tool knife CNMA from Coromant. The flow stress of the workpiece is modeled as function of strain, strain rate and temperature, so as to reflect its dynamic changes in physical properties. In this way, the influences of dep...

Cutting forces prediction is very important for cutting tool’s design and process planning. This paper presents a fuzzy cutting force modelling method using subtractive clustering for learning evaluation. In this method, subtractive clustering, combined with the least-square algorithm, identifies the fuzzy prediction model directly from the information obtained from the sensors. In the micro-mi...

Cutting force has a significant influence on the dimensional accuracy due to cutting toolholder deflection. The problem of tool holder deflection is faced frequently in a variety of engineering surface products, and to achieve this goal passive technique can be used. The need for passive technique arises from the complexities that brought to the structures by active control techniques and energ...

This paper uses the artificial neural networks (ANN’s) approach to evolve an efficient model for estimation of cutting forces, based on a set of input cutting conditions. Neural network algorithms are developed for use as a direct modeling method, to predict forces for ball-end milling operations. Prediction of cutting forces in ball-end milling is often needed in order to establish automation ...

The extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) of the rat hindleg consists of four heads. The heads are named after their insertions on the digits of toes II, III, IV and V. The EDL heads share a proximal tendon and aponeurosis, but have separate distal aponeuroses and tendons. By cutting the distal tendons of selected heads, direct myotendinous force transmission within these heads is prevented. T...
