A virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented in this two-part paper. In Part 1, the analytical foundation for a virtual machining system is developed, which is envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes. The VMT system undergoes “pseudo-real machining”, before actual cutting with a CNC machine tool takes place, to ...

introduction conventional operations in fields, soil and water management are not efficient and loss of and damage to the environment are considerable (lal, 2000). crop diversity and understanding the complex interactions between environmental and socioeconomic factors are approaches to make better use of limited resources (tengberg et al., 1998). the most diverse ecosystems have a higher produ...

the applications of electrochemical machining are increasing because of increasing requests of industries for materials with high strengh and high hardness. regular ecm uses a tool with spicified profile shape that is similar to final shape of workpiece. in this reasearch a nozzle that delivers electrolyte to the machining gap is used for machining cylinderical workpieces. by moving the electro...

This paper presents the Optimization of Non-Traditional Machining (NTM) process for the Electrochemical Machining Process by Particle Swarm Optimization Technique. The main aim of the work is to find the optimum values of machining parameters. The NonTraditional or Unconventional Machining Process has proved to be better than conventional machining process to a large extent. Keywords—Convention...

Sustainability has become a very significant research topic since it impacts many different manufacturing industries. The adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices and technologies offers industry a cost effective route to improve economic, environmental, and social performance. As a major manufacturing process, the machining system plays an important role for sustainable manufacturing on...
