      R. E. DeVor; D. L. Anderson; W. J. Zdeblick (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)
      An investigation into the nature of the inherent variation of tool life over a range of cutting conditions for a finish turning process is presented. In this study, tool life is based upon ...

    • A New Approach to the Analysis of Machine-Tool System Stability Under Working Conditions 

      F. A. Burney; S. M. Pandit; S. M. Wu (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)
      A new stochastic approach is developed in this paper for analyzing the machine-tool system stability under working conditions. Mathematical models are fitted to the relative longitudinal ...

    • Graphical Solution of the Branch and Order Problems of Linkage Synthesis for Multiply Separated Positions 

      K. J. Waldron (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)
      The graphical solutions to the order and branch problems previously developed for the P-P-P-P case are extended to cover all finitely separated, infinitesimally separated, and multiply separated ...

    • Tool-Life Distributions—Part 2: Multiple-Injury Tool-Life Model 

      S. Ramalingam (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)
      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 ...
