The use of cutting fluid in manufacturing industries has now become more problematic due to environmental pollution and health related problems of employees. Also the minimization of cutting fluid leads to the saving of lubricant cost and cleaning time of machine, tool and work-piece. The concept of minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has come in to practice since a decade ago in order to overco...

Selection of cutting parameters in machining operations is an essential task to reduce cost of the products and increase quality. This paper presents an optimization approach based on artificial bee colony algorithm for optimal selection of cutting parameters in multi-pass turning operations. The objective is to find the optimized cutting parameters in the turning operations. A comparison of ev...

introduction :   co 2 (carbon dioxide) laser application in circumcision, for cutting and coagulation, has been reported to have excellent results. also, tissue glue has been reported to have advantages over sutures for approximation of wound edges. most previous studies focused on comparisons between co 2 laser and scalpel, or between tissue glue and sutures. this study prospectively compared ...

nowadays, one-dimensional cutting stock problem (1d-csp) is used in many industrial processes and re-cently has been considered as one of the most important research topic. in this paper, a metaheuristic algo-rithm based on the simulated annealing (sa) method is represented to minimize the trim loss and also to fo-cus the trim loss on the minimum number of large objects. in this method, the 1d-...

The machine to be designed and developed with a view to resolve one ofthe irksome problems of this institute has been facing every year. This institute issurrounded by vast non- fertile land area of about 200 acres, which becomes widelyoccupied by numerous breads of bushes and shrubs during post-rainy season. Due tothis unwanted proliferation of such verdant institute gets abysmal look and that...
