Abstract: Segmented chips are known to form in machining of titanium alloys due to localization of heat in the shear zone, which is a function of machining environment. To investigate the correlation between machining environments ...

Abstract: Most often contoured surfaces inclined at several inclinations are generated using ballend milling of aerospace and automobile components. It is understood that the chip morphology and the corresponding cutting mechanisms ...

Abstract: Electrochemical grinding (ECG) at macrolevel and microlevel finds increasing use in medical device manufacturing industry. To enhance application of microECG, a comprehensive study of the role electrolyte flow in the ...

Abstract: In micromilling, understanding transitions between the desired shearingdominant to the undesired plowingdominant cutting mechanism could help obtain high quality microfeatures. This work investigates the transitions in ...

Abstract: This work presents a 3D progressive damage model based on Puck’s failure theory and linear damage evolution in fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates. It includes shear nonlinearity, in situ strengths, equivalent ...

Abstract: Slicing of Si wafers through abrasive processes generates various surface defects on wafers such as cracks and surface contaminations. Also, the processes cause a significant material loss during slicing and subsequent ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive transient model of various phenomena that occur during laser ablation of TiC target at subnanosecond timesteps. The model is a 1D numerical simulation using finite volume method (FVM) ...

Abstract: Fracture in cutting of ductile as well as brittle materials can be characterized using parameters such as K, G, R, and Jintegral; of these, R has been widely used. To accurately evaluate the contribution of fracture energy ...

Abstract: The titanium alloy (grade 5) is a two-phase material, which finds significant applications in aerospace, medical, marine fields, owing to its superior characteristics like high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion ...

Abstract: The electrochemical buffing (ECB) process primarily works on the principle of preferential dissolution by coupling of electrical, chemical, and mechanical actions. ECB is used to buff clean and hygienic nanoscale surface ...
