Abstract: An investigation into the origin of spatial frequencies within a turned surface profile is presented. A wavelength decomposition methodology is used to characterize the wavelength structure of ...

Abstract: Modeling texture of milled surfaces using analytic methods requires explicit knowledge of a large number of variables some of which change during machining. These include dynamically changing ...

Abstract: A new technique for the evaluation of precision surfaces using laser interferometry is presented. Laser interferometry creates a fringe pattern which contains information about the surface texture ...

Abstract: An active vibration control system for a turning process is presented. The system employs a magnetostrictive actuator and a rate feedback control scheme to suppress the vibration caused by ...
