in order to help in the engineering design of rice harvesting machines, there is a need to have exact information concerning the physical and mechanical properties of rice stems. the cutting force for rice stems, therefore, was measured by designing and fabricating a static and dynamic shear test apparatus. the effects of moisture levels and the cross-sectional area of stem as well as the varie...

crops and agricultural products are subject to natural loading during growth. different mechanical forces are also exerted on them during harvest. one product, sugar cane, experiences large shear forces are during harvest. an examination of the crop properties and machine parameters of sugar cane are necessary to develop appropriate cutting tools and the optimization and design of harvesting ma...

Cutting force measurement is a quintessential task for status monitoring during machining. In the past, a number of cutting force sensors have been developed, each featuring a different set of performance advantages. In a pursuit to improve the measuring sensitivity and reduce the cross-interference error, in this paper we propose a triaxial cutting force sensor based on a commercial micro-elec...

BACKGROUND Drilling is used in the medical field, especially in oral surgery and orthopaedics. In recent years, oral surgery involving dental implants has become more common. However, the risky drilling process causes serious accidents. To prevent these accidents, supporting systems such as robotic drilling systems are required. METHODS A telerobotic-assisted drilling system is proposed. An a...

Based on the cutting force theory, the cutting stress in end milling operation was predicted satisfactorily through simulation of using finite element method. The mechanistic force models were introduced in high accuracy force predictions for most applications. The material properties in the simulations were defined based on the cutting force theory, as a function of strain and strain rate wher...

This paper presents a high performance triaxial cutting force sensor with excellent accuracy, favorable natural frequency and acceptable cross-interference for high speed turning process. Octagonal ring is selected as sensitive element of the designed sensor, which is drawn inspiration from ring theory. A novel structure of two mutual-perpendicular octagonal rings is proposed and three Wheatsto...

To establish a method of determining the machinability of dental materials for CAD/CAM systems, the machinability of titanium, two titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb), and free-cutting brass was evaluated through cutting force and spindle motor current. The metals were slotted using a milling machine and square end mills at four cutting conditions. Both the static and dynamic components ...

Machining of thin-walled (aluminium alloy) aerospace structures is a critical process due to the high warpage. Current practices in the fixture design and the choice of cutting parameters rely solely on conservative guidelines and the designer’s experience. This paper presents evaluation of clamping force to fix the work piecein aVacuum fixture using Vacuum pump. The ISCARonline calculator is u...
