This paper presents the development of a new stochastic approach to characterize random tool motion during machining. The complexity of cutting mechanism is represented by a random excitation system related to physical ...

This paper presents an experimental study of the turning of a ceramic material - aluminum oxide (A12O3). Emphasis is given to gain a comprehensive understanding of the cutting mechanism. This study explores the utilization ...

This paper presents a new and systematic approach to assist decision-making in selecting machining operation sequences. The approach is to produce alternative interpretations of design as different collections of machinable ...

Production automation has been the focus of the research to improve product quality and to increase productivity. Implementation of computer-based untended machining has attracted great attention in the manufacturing ...

The need to improve quality and decrease scrap rate while increasing the production rate is motivating industry to consider untended machining as viable alternative. On-line monitoring of a machining process is the key ...

This is a progress report on a joint research project between the University and the M.S. Willett, Inc. The research focus is on the integration of a CAD system and a CAM system currently being used at the Willett.<P>The ...

This paper presents a new methodology of evaluating the machinability of a machined part during the design state of the product development cycle, so that problems related to machining can be recognized and corrected while ...
