Abstract: A more complete solution to the machining economics problem is one that takes into account several constraints of the actual machining operation. The object of the paper is to illustrate how ...

Abstract: Single pass operation is not always the most economical or the most productive, for under such practical constraints as available horsepower, desired surface finish, minimum tool life and maximum ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development of control charts for correlated and contaminated data. For illustration the charts were applied to a set of maximum principal-stress data at two locations ...

Abstract: Maximum profit is an appropriate criterion for the selection of the optimum machining conditions rather than the conventional criteria of minimum cost or maximum production rate. A simple example ...

Abstract: The effect of experimental error in tool life testing on the determination of the minimum cost cutting speed (Vmin ) is investigated by using the concept of statistical inference. It is shown ...

Abstract: An analytical method for sensitivity studies in the determination of the optimum machining conditions for the single point turning process was previously presented by Ermer and Faria [4]. In ...

Abstract: Transformations of both dependent and independent variables are employed to investigate the linearization of Taylor’s tool-life equation. This exploratory study indicates that a logarithmic ...
