Abstract: An investigation of the tool life experimental environment and its effect on designing tool life tests is presented. The D -optimal design criterion is introduced as a tool life experimental ...

Abstract: As more emphasis is placed on quality and productivity in manufacturing, it becomes necessary to develop models that more accurately describe the performance of machining processes. An improved ...

Abstract: The surface texture of a machined part is in general composed of three topographical components: waviness, roughness, and errors of form. A new technique for surface profile characterization is ...

Abstract: An Integrated Machining Process Design Simulator (IMPDS) is developed and applied as a general tool for the design of face milling systems. The simulator includes four modules to accommodate ...

Abstract: A mechanistic force system model for the face milling process has been developed and implemented on the computer. The model predicts the force system in face milling over a range of cutting ...

Abstract: In this paper, a model is developed for computation of bore cylindricity of machined cylinder bores. The model takes into account the effect of cutting process variables and the bore design ...

Abstract: A mechanistic model is developed to predict the forces for arbitrary drill point geometry. The cutting lips are divided into elements and the elemental forces are determined from a fundamental ...

Abstract: Although Shewhart control charts have had a tremendous impact on quality improvement, the inability to precisely measure chart performance has limited their role, and subsequently overall effectiveness ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of variable speed cutting for vibration control in the face milling process. Both simulation and experimental results show that the self-excited vibrations that can ...
