Abstract: In this paper we present the second generation receptance coupling substructure analysis (RCSA) method, which is used to predict the tool point response for high-speed machining applications. ...

Abstract: The implementation of high-speed machining for the manufacture of discrete parts requires accurate knowledge of the system dynamics. We describe the application of receptance coupling substructure ...

Abstract: The interference fit is a common method for creating mechanical assemblies. When manufacturing the individual components to be assembled in this method, close dimensional control of the mating ...

Abstract: A National Science Foundation-sponsored workshop was held from Feb. 24–26, 2010 in Arlington, VA. The purpose of this “Uncertainty in machining” workshop was to address uncertainty and risk in ...

Abstract: Optimizing the milling process requires a priori knowledge of many process variables. However, the ability to include both milling stability and accuracy information is limited because current ...

Abstract: It is often necessary to establish the sensitivity of an engineering system’s response to variations in the process/control parameters. Applications of the calculated sensitivity include gradient-based ...

Abstract: Wear due to relative motion between component surfaces is one of the primary modes of failure for many engineered systems. Unfortunately, it is difficult to accurately predict component life ...

Abstract: The experimental evaluation of friction coefficient is a common laboratory procedure; however, the corresponding measurement uncertainty is not widely discussed. This manuscript examines the ...
