Abstract: The data used by Tee and Wu [5] for identification of the transfer function and the noise of a Fourdrinier paper machine are reanalyzed taking into account the feedback of the skilled operator. ...

Abstract: A method is developed to choose the blade spacing for a face-milling cutter that will minimize vibration. When the dynamic frequency response of a machine-tool-workpiece system is known, a ...

Abstract: An improved cutting force model is integrated in the design of a minimum vibration face milling cutter. The cutting force of a blade is approximated by a rectangular pulse whose height is ...

Abstract: The spiking phenomenon in electron beam welding is characterized using the second-order continuous autoregressive model. The model parameters are then physically interpreted in terms of the random ...
