Abstract: Obtaining accurate baseline force data is often the critical step in applying machining simulation codes. The accuracy of the baseline cutting data determines the accuracy of simulated results. ...

Abstract: The problem of obtaining vibratory information from remote, rotating, components within a machine has been overcome by means of a laser-Doppler fiber-optic probe. Laser light is transmitted down ...

Abstract: An enhanced model for the prediction of static cutting forces in face milling is presented. The key features of the model include the ability to handle complex work-piece geometry, two-dimensional ...
