We present an augmented reality application which introduces differential geometry in educational dynamic geometry software. New functionality such as a Frenet frame, center and circle of curvature in arbitrary curve points, and others were implemented. Dynamic geometry allows to study differential geometric properties under movement. Using this tool we developed examples which enable teachers ...

the aim of this paper is to show the importance of analytic hyperbolic geometry introduced in [9]. in [1], ungar and chen showed that the algebra of the group sl(2,c) naturally leads to the notion of gyrogroups and gyrovector spaces for dealing with the lorentz group and its underlying hyperbolic geometry. they defined the chen addition and then chen model of hyperbolic geometry. in this paper,...

In this paper, 3-D Finite Element Method (FEM) based numerical modelling of precision hard turning has been studied to investigate the effects of chamfered edge geometry on tool forces, temperatures and stresses in machining of AISI 52100 steel using low-grade polycrystalline cubic boron nitrite (PCBN) inserts. An Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) based numerical modelling is employed for 3-D...

This paper presents a recently developed computational tool for aeroelastic analysis of aircraft performance. The computational tool couples a vortex-lattice code, Vorview, with an aeroelastic model that computes wing structural deflections under a combined coupled bending-torsion motion. The aeroelastic model of the wing structure is based on a one-dimensional structural dynamic theory using s...

A new spiral cutting method and its implementation within a CAD/CAM application software is proposed to save more than 16% in the roughing process of pockets for light alloy aerospace parts. The application prototype developed automatically generates the tool paths related to specific pocket profile geometry. It is shown, through experimentation using the prototype, that the parameters which de...

This section of the report discusses a tool which can create automated 3D CAD drill models based on geometric as well as manufacturing parameters. This tool is a required component of numerical/FEmodels of FRP drilling. The tool outputs the drill in a variety of solid geometry formats which can then be meshed and used in different FE analysis packages.

The paper outlines the development of a telerobotic control system with a focus on maximising the versatility of both production equipment and human operators. This was achieved by integrating sensory feedback from end effectors into the human-machine control loop. For most robotic applications, the robot executes a series of point-to-point movements along a predefined path. When an application...

Cutting tool geometry should be very much considered in micro-cutting because it has a significant effect on the topography and accuracy of the machined surface, particularly considering the uncut chip thickness is comparable to the cutting edge radius. The objective of this paper was to clarify the influence of the mechanism of the cutting tool geometry on the surface topography in the micro-m...
