microhole electrical discharge machining (EDM) system with daptive fuzzy logic control and precision piezoelectric stage is eveloped in this study. A high-speed EDM monitoring system is mplemented to measure the gap voltage, current, and ignition elay time, which are used to derive three input parameters—the verage gap voltage, deviation in spark ratio, and change in the eviation in spark ratio...

The hardware project is designed to control the speed of a BLDC motor using closed loop control technique. BLDC motor has various application used in industries like in drilling, lathes, spinning, electric bikes etc. The speed control of the DC motors is very essential. This proposed system provides a very precise and effective speed control system. The user can enter the desired speed and the ...

In this paper a surgical robotic device is described that is able to discriminate tissue interfaces and other controlling parameters ahead of the drill tip. The advantage in surgery is that tissues at interfaces can be preserved. The smart tool detects ahead of the tool point and is able to control interaction with respect to the flexing tissue to avoid penetration or to control the extent of p...

In this research, finite element analysis of the conventional drilling and vibration assisted drilling is carried out. The ABAQUS software is employed for FE analysis. The Johnson-Cook models for both plastic deformation and damage are employed for FE simulation.The results of the FE analysis are then verified with experimental results in both conventional and vibration assisted drilling on Al ...

Bone fracture due to an accident, aging or diseases is a feature of everyday life. One of the principal methods of repair and reconstruction of such a fracture is based on drilling the bone and fixing its separate parts together using screws, wires and plates. Morphology of the drilled hole surface and fixative components such as screws, pins and hooks influences strength of the bonds between t...

The dynamic model of a drill in drilling process was proposed and investigated in this study. To assure a good drilling quality, the vibration variation on the drill tips during high speed drilling is needed to be investigated. A pre-twisted beam is used to simulate the drill. The moving Winkler-Type elastic foundation is used to characterize the tip boundary variation in drilling. Due to the v...

The main affecting parameter for Delamination of the composites and in turn the failure of composites is the Thrust force. In the present work an attempt has been made in order to investigate the Thrust force generated during drilling of the TiO2 and ZnS filled Glass Fabric Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites (GFRP). The volume fractions in the matrix were chosen as 1, 2 and3%. A plan of exper...

RATIONALE Retrograde drilling is a well accepted procedure for osteochondral lesion of the talus and subchondral cyst with intact overlying cartilage. It has good results in most reports. Compared to anterograde drilling, retrograde drilling can protect the integrity of the articular cartilage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of using retrograde drilling for osteochond...

Drilling of glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite is different from metallic materials due to its mechanical properties. The drilling of this material may generate delamination of drilled holes on workpiece. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of the cutting parameters, such as cutting speed and feed rate, point angle of drill and material thickness on delaminati...
