The recent development of laser light probes for stress wave measurements has aided our understanding of acoustic emission and ultrasonic signals by allowing quantitative measurements of stress waveforms. This paper reports on applications of the laser interferometer probe for surface detection of stress waves and the laser transmission probe for sensing of stress waves inside transparent mater...

In this study, vibration cutting has been applied to machining of a novel material, NiTi based shape memory alloy (SMA), using a commercial ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer to vibrate an ISO insert CCMT geometry cutting tool. The effect of vibration in turning process was characterized by investigating the surface roughness of workpiece and surface quality assessment of machined surface usin...
