Electrical discharge machining process, is one of the most widely used methods for machining, the electrically conductive parts. In this way the tool is not in contact with the workpiece and the hardness of workpiece does not affect the machining speed. In Electrical Discharge Machining process, selection of the correct machining parameters are effective in final cost and the quality of the pro...

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process is one of the most widely used methods for machining. This method is used to form parts that conduct electricity. This method of machining has used for hard materials and therefore selects the correct values of parameters which are so effective on the quality machining of parts. Reaching to optimum condition of the DIN1.2080 alloy (D3) machining is v...

The classical theorem of Hopf Bifurcation for the study of periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) at an equilibrium point has become the standard mathematical tool for reducing higher dimensional dynamical systems to lower dimensional systems, while at the same time preserving the emanating dynamics. The attraction for this tool is due to the fact that the classical Hopf t...

The great majority of engineered products are subject to thermo-mechanical loads which vary with the product environment during the various phases of its life-cycle (machining, assembly, intended service use...). Those load variations may result in different values of the parts nominal dimensions, which in turn generate corresponding variation of the effective clearance (functional requirement)...

Typically, NC programmers generate tool paths for end milling using a computer-aided process planner but manually schedule “conservative” cutting conditions. In this paper, a new evolutionary computation technique, particle swarm optimization (PSO), is proposed and implemented to efficiently and robustly optimize multiple machining parameters simultaneously for the case of milling. An artificia...

In this paper, fuzzy logic integrated with the Taguchi method is used to optimize Wire Electro Discharge Machining (WEDM) process with multiple quality characteristics. Rough machining with EDM gives poor surface finish and has micro cracks and pores. Finish machining gives better surface finish but with very poor machining speed (MRR). Spark gap width is one of the important performance measur...

Due to the widespread applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites in various industries, the machining of these materials to reach the desired shapes, close tolerances and surface finish quality is of great importance. But the composite materials are anisotropic and are mostly prepared in laminated form and, therefore, they have special chip formation behaviour. Among the effective para...

The operating control parameters of injection flushing type of electrical discharge machining process on stainless steel 304 workpiece with copper tools are being optimized according to its individual machining characteristic i.e. material removal rate (MRR). Lower MRR during EDM machining process may decrease its’ machining productivity. Hence, the quality characteristic for MRR is set to high...

The challenges of machining, particularly milling, glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are their abrasiveness (which lead to excessive tool wear) and susceptible to workpiece damage when improper machining parameters are used. It is imperative that the condition of cutting tool being monitored during the machining process of GFRP composites so as to re-compensating the effect of to...
