Abstract: This paper presents smart tooling concepts applied to ultraprecision machining, particularly through the development of smart tool holders, two types of smart cutting tools, and a smart spindle for high-speed drilling and ...

Abstract: he fall attitudes and the flow fields of falling hexagonal ice plates are studied by numerically solving the transient incompressible Navier?Stokes equation for flow past ice plates and the body dynamics equations representing ...

Abstract: he ventilation coefficients that represent the enhancement of mass transfer rate due to the falling motion of spherical hailstones in an atmosphere of 460 hPa and 248 K are computed by numerically solving the unsteady ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to measure the cutting temperature in process and control it to some extent by using an internally cooled smart cutting tool with a closed internal cooling circuitry. Numerical modeling ...

Abstract: nderstanding of the flow field and falling patterns of ice crystals is fundamental to cloud physics and radiative transfer, and yet the complex shape hampers a comprehensive understanding. In order to create better ...

Abstract: A comparative study on the enhancement mechanism by various twisted tapes (TTs) in association with the local flow pattern is investigated in detail via computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The effect of gap between TT and ...

Abstract: Bistable compliant elements offer excellent advantages in many applications ranging from high precision sensing to energy harvesting. The essential nonlinear mechanics of such elements are strongly coupled with their ...
