in this study the effect of input parameters of the edm process (pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity), on the material removal rate (mrr), tool wear ratio (twr) and maximum surface roughness (rmax) in the machining aisi h13 tool steel has been studied. this study shows that increasing the duty cycle in the two conditions of tool polarity, material removal rate and the maximum surface ro...

this work presents an experimental investigation of the influence of the six important machining parameters (tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled) and depth of cut) on surface roughness & material removal rate in the machining unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastics (ud-gfrp) composite using carbide (k10) cutting tool durin...

in this study, the effects of linear and rotational speed of the friction stir welding tool was investigated on the heat generation and distribution at surface and inside of workpiece, material flow and geometry of the welding area of poly methyl methacrylate (pmma) workpiece. the commercial cfd fluent 6.4 software was used to simulation of the process with computational fluid dynamic technique...

Varieties of robotic grippers are developed with high flexibility and multi-functional approaches. In this paper, the study is an innovative approach of a gripper for handling variable size, shape and weight of unpacked food products i.e. ‘Vacuum Gripper of Robots’ which is working on Bernoulli Principle for generating a high-speed flow between the gripper plate and product surface thereby crea...

In subtractive manufacturing, process monitoring systems are used to observe the manufacturing process, predict maintenance actions and suggest optimizations. One challenge, however, is that observable signals influenced not only by degradation of cutting tool, but also deviations in machinability among material batches. Thus it necessary first respective batch before making decisions. this stu...

Despite the fact that Titanium material has been considered as difficult to cut material, its usage has been increasing day by day in all engineering sectors; wherever criticality is encountered. Many studies are going on in view of increasing tool life at high cutting speed to improve productivity. In this study, attempt has been made to see the effect of iron as a partial substitution  along ...

In this work, the finite element simulation of dissimilar friction stir welding process is investigated. The welded materials are AA 6061-T6 and AA 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. For this purpose, a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model is developed according to the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method. The CEL method has the advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches, whic...
