Abstract: This paper studies the characteristics of micro tangential deflection of the interface of mating machined surfaces subjected to normal and tangential forces. Experimental results show that contact ...

Abstract: As bolted joints affect the overall accuracy and stiffness of a machine tool, their behaviors have always been important to consider in a machine design process. The bulging phenomenon of a ...

Abstract: A novel linear piezomotor is developed for machine tool applications. This paper presents the design strategy for this high stiffness linear piezomotor with nanometer resolution. The linear ...

Abstract: The fluid flow problem in a traditional electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) system is analyzed and solved numerically. The predicted mean velocity profiles in the dressing zone show flow ...

Abstract: A theoretical model based on mechanics and machine dynamics is presented to describe the effect of machine stiffness on surface integrity of ground silicon nitride. The model accounts for both ...
