PVC frame cutting process by guillotine is a common method that attracted attention of car parts and PVC decorating furniture producers. In this paper, the effects of main parameters such as cutting speed, lubricants and cutting frame holder pressure force on PVC frame section surface smoothness is investigated by experimental methods on a specified PVC frame sample and then by FEM simulation u...

The paper proposes a new optimization technique based on genetic algorithms for the determination of the cutting parameters in machining operations. In metal cutting processes, cutting conditions have an influence on reducing the production cost and time and deciding the quality of a final product. This paper presents a new methodology for continual improvement of cutting conditions with GA (Ge...

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 ...

Chvfital introduced the idea of viewing cutting planes as a system for proving that every integral solution of a given set of linear inequalities satisfies another given linear inequality. This viewpoint has proven to be very useful in many studies of combinatorial and integer programming problems. The basic ingredient in these cutting-plane proofs is that for a polyhedron P and integral vector...

Research of virtual surgical operations has advanced in recent years based on virtual reality technology. One basic operation is virtual cutting simulation. In order to realize the virtual cutting, there are two types of research, i.e. using a voxel model and a polygonal model.The voxel model expresses volume and is made by a small cube size. The polygonal model expresses the surface and is con...

Abstract Abrasive waterjet cutting is a manufacturing technology making use of high-speed with abrasive particles in suspension, for materials different mechanical properties. Product quality requirements are pushing towards an improvement tracking and stabilization methods the relevant process variables. Amongst those, jet kinetic power defines capability has significant impact on final cut fe...

In order to produce components in optical quality in ultra-precision cutting processes it is very important to have a highly balanced system. Achieving the best possible balancing state is a time consuming process. Therefore, the prediction of the influence of the balancing state on the surface quality of the component is desirable. On the other hand, such a model should enable us to predict a ...

We explore the extension of an algorithmic composition system for live audio cutting to the realm of video, through a protocol for message passing between separate audio and video applications. The protocol enables fruitful musician to video artist collaboration with multiple new applications in live performance: The crowd at a gig can be cutup as video in synchrony with audio cutting, a musici...
