Abstract: An analytical model of surface height error in end milling due to the elastic compliance of cutting tool is presented. Based on the relationship of local cutting forces and chip thickness, ...

Abstract: The scope of the paper is to discuss the identification of cutter axis tilt in end milling process via cutting force analysis. Cutter axis tilt redistributes the chip load among flutes thereby ...

Abstract: An integrated formulation is presented to calculate the buoyant velocity of bubbles/droplets of various sizes. The bubble/droplet shape can be a sphere, ellipsoid, or a spherical-cap. This formulation can be applied to ...

Abstract: A model is developed for simulating oil spills that initially behave as jets or plumes. The model is based on the Lagrangian integral method. The model can simulate a liquid (oil) in an ambient (seawater), or an oil/gas ...

Abstract: The linked-list method is explained using transport simulations involving Lagrangian discrete parcels. Parcel insertion and removal as well as storing of variables in a multispecies problem are explained through examples. ...

Abstract: Cracks are commonly observed in glulam joints even though the members have yet to experience the design load level. The cracks are commonly formed by tensile stress perpendicular to grain and are induced by shrinkage of ...

Abstract: With increasing concerns about infrastructure sustainability, ubiquitous sensing is an integral part of smart infrastructure in the context of smart cities. It generates large data sets containing hidden patterns and ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the hysteretic performance of self-centering beam-to-column connections for glulam structures. Such connections incorporate a posttensioned high-strength steel strand to provide recentering capability, ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional sheet metal forming is one of the biggest challenges in the shipbuilding industry. The forming quality of the traditionally applied line heating method depends entirely on the skills of the technicians. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of an explicit expression of cutting force wave forms in end milling with helical multi-flute cutters. From the relationship of elemental cutting forces and ...
