Abstract: In this paper, a novel approach to the derivation of the toollife distribution, when the tool useful life ends after a progressive wear process, is presented. It is based on the diffusion theory and exploits the Fokker–Planck ...

Abstract: It is known that estimating the wear level at a future time instant and obtaining an updated evaluation of the toollife density is essential to keeping machined parts at the desired quality level, reducing material waste, ...
