Abstract: The existence of a transition from soliton-like motions to spatially and temporally disordered motions in a periodic structure with buckling nonlinearity is demonstrated. An experiment consisting ...

Abstract: This paper considers chatter in diamond turning of aluminum. A nonlinear chip area model is developed for use with the classic single degree of freedom cutting model. The chip area model is ...

Abstract: A system of retarded differential equations model is developed for a diamond-turning process with chip area cut by a round nosed tool. The results are presented in the form of stability charts ...

Abstract: Traditional regenerative stability theory predicts a set of optimally stable spindle speeds at integer fractions of the natural frequency of the most flexible mode of the system. The assumptions ...

Abstract: Chatter in milling and other interrupted cutting operations occurs at different combinations of speed and depth of cut from chatter in continuous cutting. Prediction of stability in interrupted ...

Abstract: Articulating cervical disk implants have been proposed as an alternative to disk fusion in the treatment of cervical disk disease. To examine the mechanical effect of articulating cervical disk ...
