Abstract: This paper extends the photoelasticity studies reported in Part 1 of this paper to the plastic regions associated with chip formation during orthogonal cutting. These regions include the deformation ...

Abstract: The single-injury tool-life model developed in Part 1 of this paper is extended to the case of tool failure due to a multitude of injuries. The expected tool-life distribution in the case ...

Abstract: This paper examines the plastic deformation process involved in chip formation during orthogonal cutting. Results of the grid deformation studies carried out on polymeric workpieces are reported. ...

Abstract: Experimental results obtained when single crystals of aluminum of known orientation are machined under identical cutting conditions are presented. Analysis of the data obtained shows that the ...

Abstract: Evidence is presented to show that hard inclusions in iron-base alloys degrade machinability by reducing cutting tool life. Machining experiments have been carried out on Fe-C-Silica and Fe-C-Alumina ...

Abstract: Dynamic SEM studies of plastic flow in a uni-axial tensile test requires that the loading stage possess more than an ability to apply large loads to the test specimen. In such a test, ...

Abstract: The statistical variability of tool life in production machining must be accounted for in any rational design of large-volume or automated manufacturing systems. The probabilistic approach needed ...

Abstract: Distributed tool life under production machining conditions results in the need for unplanned tool changes. In the case of large volume or automated production systems, such production interruptions ...
