Plunge milling is a recent and efficient production mean for machining deep workpieces, notably in aeronautics. This paper focuses on the minimization of the machining time by optimizing the values of the cutting parameters. Currently, neither Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software nor standard approaches take into account the tool path geometry and the control laws driving the tool displa...

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a green fabrication technique that has been effectively adopted in various engineering applications. One of the promising advantages FSP its applicability development surface composites. In current work, new approach for direct friction considered aluminum-based composites reinforced with micro-sized silicon carbide particles (SiC), eliminating prolonged prepro...

Architects often use two-dimensional media to represent, visualise, and study the three-dimensional qualities of un-built spaces. Knowledge of pictorial cues is a powerful design tool that can be used to enhance the spatial qualities of built environments. This paper draws from the recent developments in computer graphics (physically based renderings and perceptually based tone mapping techniqu...

Gear plunge shaving is one of the most efficient ways to finish gears. It has been a challenge for a long time to design and manufacture a plunge shaving cutter to induce gear tooth modification. This paper proposes a method for designing plunge shaving cutters to manufacture gears with modifications analytically. By integrating B-spline interpolation, differential geometry, and design optimiza...

A decoupled fuzzy sliding-mode control for an aeroelastic system is derived. This aeroelastic dynamic system describes the nonlinear plunge and pitch motions of a wing section, using a single trailing-edge flap as the control input. The decoupled fuzzy sliding-mode control design method is proposed to simultaneously control both the plunge and pitch motions of the aeroelastic system. In this de...

Abstract Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state process, which has significant role in processes for nonferrous alloys. Conventional arc aluminum alloys such as metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten (TIG) are replaced by FSW. The effect of FSW parameters rotational traverse speeds, tool geometry, plunge depth, tilt angle, etc., on weld quality were considered several optimization studies. He...
