Abstract: This paper introduces a new technique for monitoring multiple tooth rotating tools. The technique is based on laser diffraction. A narrow slit is constructed between the cutting edge of a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new condition monitoring method based on a latent process model. The method consists of three steps. First, a sensor signal is modeled by a latent process model that ...

Abstract: Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely used for engineering monitoring and diagnosis. However, there are still several important problems unsolved and one of them is the architecture ...

Abstract: Pressure vessel is widely used in many engineering areas. How to achieve a perfect combination of excellent performance and low cost in the design and manufacturing of a pressure vessel is, ...

Abstract: Single-loop N-bar linkages that contain one prismatic joint are common in engineering. This type of mechanism often requires complicated control and, hence, understanding its mobility is very ...

Abstract: Metal forming press is one of the most commonly used manufacturing machines. Every day, millions of parts are produced by metal forming ranging from battery caps to automotive body panels. ...

Abstract: This short paper introduces a new adjacency matrix to represent the topological changes of metamorphic mechanisms. An element “−1” is introduced to indicate the frozen kinematic pairs, which ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new method for tool condition monitoring in transfer machining stations. The new method is developed based on a combination of wavelet transform, signal reconstruction, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new method, called four dimensional (4D) holospectrum, is introduced for analyzing force distributions. First, it is shown that the dynamics of a three dimensional force can ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mechanistic model for surface generation in peripheral milling, which includes the effects of cutter vibrations, run out, as well as flank wear is presented. The surface ...
