Gear plunge shaving is one of the most efficient ways to finish gears. It has been a challenge for a long time to design and manufacture a plunge shaving cutter to induce gear tooth modification. This paper proposes a method for designing plunge shaving cutters to manufacture gears with modifications analytically. By integrating B-spline interpolation, differential geometry, and design optimiza...

A decoupled fuzzy sliding-mode control for an aeroelastic system is derived. This aeroelastic dynamic system describes the nonlinear plunge and pitch motions of a wing section, using a single trailing-edge flap as the control input. The decoupled fuzzy sliding-mode control design method is proposed to simultaneously control both the plunge and pitch motions of the aeroelastic system. In this de...

We compare the performances of the templates defined by three different types of approaches: traditional post-Newtonian templates ~Taylor approximants!, ‘‘resummed’’ post-Newtonian templates assuming the adiabatic approximation and stopping before the plunge (P approximants!, and further ‘‘resummed’’ postNewtonian templates going beyond the adiabatic approximation and incorporating the plunge w...

We compare the performances of the templates defined by three different types of approaches: traditional post-Newtonian templates (Taylor-approximants), “resummed” post-Newtonian templates assuming the adiabatic approximation and stopping before the plunge (P-approximants), and further “resummed” post-Newtonian templates going beyond the adiabatic approximation and incorporating the plunge with...

Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures. The lattice preferred orientation of crystals, which is generally parallel to the downward or upward flow of the mantle or crust, is an important reason for the occurrence of fast axis...

the aim of this article is study of tool plunge depth (tpd) effects on mechanical properties of friction stir welding of aa1100 aluminium alloy to a441 aisi steel. for this purpose the 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 mm tpd selected and other welding parameters kept constant. the results shows that the frictional heat increases and stir zone grain size decreases with increasing tpd at both base metals. ...

Influences of two different sample preparation methods, mechanical polishing and plunge cutting, on nanoindentation behavior of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass were studied. Mechanical polishing suppresses the serrated flow but promotes the creep. In contrast, plunge cutting promotes the serrated flow but suppresses the creep. However, hardness and elastic modulus obtained from these two methods...
