Abstract: Presently surface microtexturing has found many promising applications in the fields of tribology, biomedical engineering, metal cutting, and other functional or topographical surfaces. Most of these applications are ...

Abstract: Using the multistand chatter models derived in Part 1, a stability analysis, based on the integral criterion of stability for delay differential equations, will be carried out for the regenerative mechanism to better ...

Abstract: Many different modes of chatter in rolling and their possible causes have been identified after years of research, yet no clear and definite theory of their mechanics has been fully established and accepted. In this twopart ...

Abstract: The manipulation of the trajectory of high-pressure micro water jets has the potential to greatly improve the accuracy of water jet related manufacturing processes. An experimental study was conducted to understand the ...

Abstract: The ultrashort pulsed laser ablation process is a wellestablished micromachining process and has been at the center of manufacturing research in the past decade. However, it has its own limitations, primarily due to the ...

Abstract: Microstructured surfaces are assuming an everincreasing role since they define the ultimate performance of many industrial components and products. Microchannels, in particular, have many potential applications in microfluidic ...

Abstract: Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processes were used for direct writing of bead arrays with controllable bead sizes. Experiments were conducted to align layers of bead-on-string structures in an effort to create three-dimensional ...

Abstract: A twopass microrollingbased texturing (خ¼RT) process was utilized to improve the hydrophobicity of aluminum surfaces. Square micropillars were fabricated on aluminum sheets by two mutually orthogonal forming passes by a ...

Abstract: Conventional single-point incremental forming (SPIF) is already in use for small batch prototyping and fabrication of customized parts from thin sheet metal blanks by inducing plastic deformation with a rigid round-tip ...

Abstract: Temperaturedistribution measurements in cutting tools during the machining process are extremely difficult and remain an unresolved problem. In this paper, cutting temperature distributions were measured by thin film ...
