Abstract: An improved shape annealing algorithm for truss topology generation and optimization, based on the techniques of shape grammars and simulated annealing, is introduced. The algorithm features a ...

Abstract: In this paper a mechanistic force model for contour turning is presented. Analytical solutions are developed for evaluation of the mechanistic parameters (chip load, chip thickness, chip width, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the stability variations in contour turning process. An equivalent chip-area formulation has been developed, and is used to model the dynamic machining ...
