Abstract: A mechanistic modeling approach to predicting cutting forces is developed for multi-axis ball end milling of free-form surfaces. The workpiece surface is represented by discretized point vectors. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a process model-based approach has been proposed for monitoring and fault diagnosis in the multi-axis ball end milling process. Besides its ability to deal with complex cutting ...

Abstract: Dielectric elastomer-based crawling robots can utilize a voltage-induced deformation to achieve prescribed crawling movements. Although a rich repertoire of robots have been proposed with various design schemes, developing ...
