A Gouge-Free Tool Axis Reorientation Method for Kinematics Compliant Avoidance of Singularity in 5-Axis Machining
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a cutter traverses a region local to the singularity in 5-axis machining, the stability of machine tool motion may be violated and inevitably lead to a reduction in machining quality and accuracy. In this paper, the ...
Spiral Tool Path Generation Method on Mesh Surfaces Guided by Radial Curves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new spiral smoothing method to generate smooth curved tool paths directly on mesh surfaces. Spiral tool paths are preferable for computer numerical control (CNC) milling, especially for high-speed ...
Iso-Planar Feed Vector-Fields-Based Streamline Tool Path Generation for Five-Axis Compound Surface Machining With Torus-End Cutters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new vector-field-based streamline smoothing method in the parametric space and a tool orientation optimization technique for five-axis machining of complex compound surfaces with torus-end cutters. ...
Fracture Mechanics Model of Needle Cutting Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work develops a needle insertion force model based on fracture mechanics, which incorporates the fracture toughness, shear modulus, and friction force of the needle and tissue. Ex vivo tissue experiments were performed ...
Direct Printing and Electrical Characterization of Conductive Micro-Silver Tracks by Alternating Current-Pulse Modulated Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a rapid prototyping method for fabrication of highly conductive micropatterns on insulating substrates was developed and evaluated. Sub-20 μm microstructures were printed on flexible insulating substrates ...
Direct Printing of Capacitive Touch Sensors on Flexible Substrates by Additive E-Jet Printing With Silver Nanoinks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, techniques of direct printing of capacitive touch sensors on flexible substrates are presented. Capacitive touch sensors were fabricated by using electrohydrodynamic inkjet (E-jet) printing onto flexible ...
A Novel Analytical Explicit Method to Calculate Formed Wheel and Tooth Flank of Involute Gears in Profile Grinding Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gear drive is a common and efficient way to transfer power and motion. To ensure the machining accuracy of gears, the tooth flanks are formed by profile grinding technology in some cases. In the profile grinding process, ...
A Method of Generating Spiral Tool Path for Direct Three-Axis Computer Numerical Control Machining of Measured Cloud of Point
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Smooth continuous spiral tool paths are preferable for computer numerical control (CNC) machining due to their good kinematic and dynamic characteristics. This paper presents a new method to generate spiral tool paths for ...
Compliant Needle Vibration Cutting of Soft Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work investigates the performance of a novel compliant needle for cutting tissue. The novel cutting geometry transfers axial vibration to transverse motion at the tip. The cutting edge of the geometry is defined in ...
