Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are now gaining their usage in aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries because of their inherent properties like high strength to weight ratio, low wear rate etc. To machine these types of materials conventional machining methods are unsuitable because of high tool wear and tooling cost. Electro discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the important nontraditio...

In this paper we present a semi-automatic 2D-3D local registration pipeline capable of coloring 3D models obtained from 3D scanners by using uncalibrated images. The proposed pipeline exploits the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique in order to reconstruct a sparse representation of the 3D object and obtain the camera parameters from image feature matches. We then coarsely register the recons...

In this paper, a finite element (FE) cutting model for particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) considering material damage was developed to predict SiC particle failure, forces, and machined surface topography in SiCp/Al composite machining, analyze the dynamic mechanisms of chip formation failure evolution. The validity simulation verified by comparing results with forces obtained...
