Contact Zone Force Profile and Machining Performance of Filamentary Brush1
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Filamentary brushing tools are used in a wide range of surface finishing processes, such as deburring, edge radiusing, polishing, and surface decontamination applications. Moreover, these tools ... -
Incorporation of Sheet-Forming Effects in Crash Simulations Using Ideal Forming Theory and Hybrid Membrane and Shell Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)In order to achieve reliable but cost-effective crash simulations of stamped parts, sheet-forming process effects were incorporated in simulations using the ideal forming theory mixed with the ... -
Design Method of Die Geometry and Pass Schedule by Void Index in Multi-Pass Drawing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The concept for die-geometry design is shown to suppress void growth in multi-pass drawing. First, the void index to evaluate the void fraction in multi-pass drawing was newly proposed based ... -
Fatigue Life Prediction After Laser Forming
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Analysis of the laser forming process has been focused on geometry, yield strength, and microstructure change in the past. However fatigue life has been the primary concern for engineering ... -
Simulation of the Age Forming Process
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)It is demonstrated that an age forming model based on the assumptions that the loading and unloading phases are dominated by linear elasticity while the aging phase is dominated by nonlinear ... -
On-the-Fly Substrate Eccentricity Recognition for Robotized Manufacturing Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This paper describes a method for on-the-fly determination of eccentricity of a circular substrate, such as a silicon wafer in semiconductor manufacturing applications, carried by a robotic ... -
Functional Filtering and Performance Correlation of Plateau Honed Surface Profiles
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Plateau honing produces a unique texture on cylinder liner surface. This surface is engineered to simulate the actual running in process of the engine and results in a core layer superimposed ... -
Fluid Flow and Pressure in the Grinding Wheel-Workpiece Interface
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)A model is presented for flow of grinding fluid through the grinding zone. It was found that the flow rate through the contact zone between the wheel and the workpiece is a function of ... -
