In this paper, the profile of surfaces machined using end mills with flat and ball end tools in modeled. The real kinematics of the tool motion, the static deflection and the run out of the tool are included in the model. The cutting forces are calculated using a semi-empirical method based on orthogonal to oblique conversion of cutting coefficients. The thickness of the uncut chip is used as t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the use of Bowman's layer (BL) vertical topographic thickness maps in diagnosing keratoconus (KC). DESIGN Prospective, case control, interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS A total of 42 eyes: 22 eyes of 15 normal subjects and 20 eyes of 15 patients with KC. INTERVENTION Bowman's layer 2-dimensional 9-mm vertical topographic thickness maps were created using custom-ma...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Advances in carotid plaque imaging could allow quantification of fibrous cap thickness in vivo. While a cap thickness <65 microm is the accepted definition of rupture-prone plaque in the coronary circulation, the threshold value for carotid plaques is unknown. METHODS We made detailed histological assessments of 526 carotid plaques from consecutive patients undergoing e...

tube hydroforming (thf) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. in this paper, t- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and fini...

Hue Mohun, a Hindu boy, aged 12 years, was brought to the dispensary at Hungpore on the 3rd December, 1871. He had a very thin chip of bamboo accidentally fixed into the cornea of his right eye. The chip had gone through the thickness of the cornea for about a quarter of an inch, and then just protruded into the aqueous humor, but the outer end was not protruding externally. The whole length of...

In this paper, the tool wear mechanisms for low-frequency vibration-assisted drilling (LF-VAD) of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)/Ti6Al4V stacks are investigated at various machining parameters. Based on kinematics analysis, effect vibration amplitude chip formation, uncut thickness, radian, and axial velocity examined. Subsequently, LF-VAD cutting temperature, wear, delamination, geomet...

The main aim of this paper is to study the material removal phenomenon using the finite element method (FEM) analysis for orthogonal cutting, and the impact of cutting speed variation on the chip formation, stress and plastic deformation. We have explored different constitutive models describing the tool-workpiece interaction. The Johnson-Cook constitutive model with damage initiation and damag...

Ductile cutting are most widely used in fabricating high-quality optical glass components to achieve crack-free surfaces. For ultra-precision machining of brittle glass materials, critical undeformed chip thickness (CUCT) commonly plays a pivotal role in determining the transition point from ductile cutting to brittle cutting. In this research, cutting characteristics in nanometric cutting of B...

The increasing demand for feature content of portable electronic products drives requirements for smaller volume and lower cost device packaging. This has, in turn, led to the packaging industry’s interest in stacked chip technology, especially for memory applications. The growth of stacked chip package technology drove development of specific die adhesives that combine low cost with controlled...
