There is a requirement to find accurate parameters to accomplish precise dimensional accuracy, excellent surface integrity and maximum MRR. This work studies the influence of various cutting parameters on output parameters like Cutting force, Surface roughness, Flatness, and Material removal rate while face milling. A detailed finite element model was developed to simulate the face milling proc...

The one-dimensional cutting stock problem, has so many applications in lots of industrial processes and during the past few years has attracted so many researchers’ attention all over the world. In this paper a meta-heuristic method based on ACO is presented to solve this problem. In this algorithm, based on designed probabilistic laws, artificial ants do select various cuts and then select the...

The built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. The built up layer (BUL) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. This parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. This BUL should not be confused with the built up edge (BUE). The deformation of the BUL in...

We analyze the properties of an interior point cutting plane algorithm that is based on a semi-infinite linear formulation of the dual semidefinite program. The cutting plane algorithm approximately solves a linear relaxation of the dual semidefinite program in every iteration and relies on a separation oracle that returns linear cutting planes. We show that the complexity of a variant of the i...

We investigate two cutting problems and their variants in which orthogonal rotations are allowed. We present a dynamic programming based algorithm for the Two-dimensional Guillotine Cutting Problem with Value (GCV) that uses the recurrence formula proposed by Beasley and the discretization points defined by Herz. We show that if the items are not so small compared to the dimension of the bin, t...

Over a decade ago, the European Journal of Operational Research published its first special issue on Cutting and Packing [1] in conjunction with the founding of SICUP, the Special Interest Group on Cutting and Packing. The majority of the papers in the first special issue were focused on cutting problems in the aluminium, paper, and canvas industry, as well as container loading problems. In 199...

Abstract About 15 years ago, a paper proposed the first integer linear programming formulation for constrained two‐dimensional guillotine cutting problem (with unlimited stages). Since then, eight other formulations followed, seven of them in last four years. This spike interest gave no opportunity comprehensive comparison between formulations. We review each and compare their empirical results...
