The machining of fibre reinforced composites is an important activity for optimal application of these advanced materials into engineering fields. During machining, any excessive cutting force has to be avoided in order to prevent any product reject in the last stages of production cycle. Therefore, the ability to predict the cutting forces is essential to select the process parameters necessar...

This paper outlines the fractional factorial approach of D.O.E. techniques (Taguchi & Response Surface Methodology) are applied to optimize turning process parameter in order to obtain better surface finish. The turning parameters evaluated are cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut. An orthogonal array, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, and Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to analyze...

The wear of cutting tool degrades the quality of the product in the manufacturing processes. The on line monitoring of the cutting tool wear level is very necessary to prevent the deterioration of the quality of machining. Unfortunately there is not a direct manner to measure the cutting tool wear on line. Consequently we must adopt an indirect method where wear will be estimated from the measu...

Nowadays, carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) composites is widely used in the aerospace industry due to its excellent mechanical properties. In laser cutting process, high powers are used to cut materials then material melts and burns leaving edges with a high quality finish. To fulfill the high demand of cutting quality, a set of laser cutting parameters of CFRP material are studied. The ...

ABSTRACT In this paper, the phenomenon of chatter vibration in metal cutting is investigated. For this purpose, a theoretical one-degree of freedom model of the vibrations generated in an orthogonal cutting process is developed. The dynamic cutting forces are strongly affected by the variations of the cutting process parameters, and the model is based on the mechanical theoretical prediction of...
