The paper presents an in-process prediction of corner wear in drilling operations by means of a polynomial network. The polynomial network is composed of a number of functional nodes and well organized to form an optimal network architecture using an algorithm for synthesis of polynomial networks (ASPNs). Thrust force or torque in drilling operations has been correlated with corner wear in this...

In this study, three different vegetable-based cutting fluids developed from raw and refined sunflower oil and two commercial types (vegetable and mineral based cutting oils), were carried out to determine for thrust force and surface roughness during drilling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel with HSSE tool. The uses of vegetable cutting oils was investigated in reducing thrust force and ...

Composite materials are widely employed in the naval, aerospace and transportation industries owing to the combination of being lightweight and having a high modulus of elasticity, strength and stiffness. Drilling is an operation generally used in composite materials to assemble the final product. Damages such as the burr at the drill entrance and exit, geometric deviations and delamination are...

during the past decade, polymer nanocomposites have emerged relatively as a new and rapidly developing class of composite materials and attracted considerable investment in research and development worldwide.direct machining of polymers can be an option for personalized products and for manufacturing product samples. to obtain high quality products and reduce machining costs, it is very importa...

ultrasonic assisted drilling (usd) is new technique to drill difficult to machine materials. in this method, tool or workpiece vibrates with amplitude of few microns in addition to conventional drill bite rotation. in this experimental research, the bone was drilled both conventionally and using uad, then the thrust was measured in two methods at feed rates of 50, 75 and 125 mm/s and 500, 710 a...

An analytical finite element technique was developed for predicting the thrust force and torque in drilling with twist drills. The approach was based on representing the cutting forces along the cutting lips as a series of oblique sections. Similarly, cutting in the chisel region was treated as orthogonal cutting with different cutting speeds depending on the radial location. For each section, ...

Drilling of fiber reinforced plastics is necessary in order to assemble complex/intricate composite products. Drilling induced damage leads to high percentage of part rejection and reduced product efficiency and life. The thrust force and torque have been found to be the important factors influencing damage. In the present research endeavor, an attempt has been made to develop a fuzzy rule base...

Fibre reinforced plastics are increasing their importance as one of the most interesting groups of material on account of their low weight, high strength and stiffness. To obtain good quality holes, it is important to identify the type of material, ply stacking sequence and fibre orientation. In this paper, the drilling of quasi-isotropic hybrid carbon+glass/epoxy plates is analyzed. Two commer...

Because neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery often require the drilling of bones, this paper attempts to solve the problem of bone drilling. The goal is to realize a control system, which is able to drill with a contact drilling force and can automatically stop drilling at the moment of breaking through. In particular, both the de drilling mntor control and the feed rate control are driven by fo...

Drilling is one of the fundamental operations in metal cutting industry. Torque and thrust force has a major influence on the tool life and machining economics. The present study mainly focus on the optimization of process parameters to reduce torque and thrust force on HSS drill and to improve the tool life. Investigations are carried on different work materials such as AA 6041, AISI 1040 and ...
