The white layer formed during the hard-cutting process impacts surface quality and mechanical properties of a workpiece significantly. Obtaining accurate critical cutting speed for formation is beneficial to control parameter selection cutting. Accordingly, combining with finite element (FE) method, model was developed based on solid phase transformation free energy theory, in which thermal–mec...

the implementation of different silvicultural systems can be effective on different characteristics of forest stands, such as stand structure and diameter distribution of trees. this study was carried out in shafaroud forests of gilan province of northern iran. the objectives of this research were 1) to evaluate the suitability of different probability distribution functions, including weibull,...

Surface roughness is a significant parameter which determines the efficiency of optical components. Surface damages induced by grinding strongly influence the mechanical strength and optical quality of optical glasses. It is meaningful to rapid evaluate the surface roughness through the measurement of different grinding parameters. In this study, a cup diamond wheel (D64) is used in grinding pr...

Laser cutting is one of the most widely used thermal energy based non-contact type advance machining process. In recent years, considerable experimental investigations have been carried out aiming at improving laser cutting process performance. This review paper aims at presenting the state of the art in the field of CO2 laser cutting of various engineering materials with special emphasis on ex...

In this paper, a rock fragmentation process is simulated during mechanical cutting of rock using an explicit...

The development of chip morphology, critical cutting conditions of serrated chip formation and cutting forces were observed and measured by high speed machining experiment for 30CrNi3MoV hardened steel. Results show that the cutting speed and rake angle are leading factors to influence chip morphology and cutting forces. With the increase of cutting speed, the continuous band chip transforms in...

Reliable prediction of cutting forces is essential for micromilling. In this paper, a fuzzy cutting force modelling method based on subtractive clustering method filters the noise and estimates the instantaneous cutting forces using observations acquired by sensors during cutting experiments. In the experimental case study, four data sets of micromilling cutting force are used. Each data set is...
