This article discusses the recent developments in grinding of advanced materials. Eighty-four journal papers published recently are briefly introduced. The topics are advances in grinding of brittle materials, grinding of silicon, dressing/truing of grinding wheels, grinding fluids, grinding of mirrors and vibration-assisted grinding, measuring/ monitoring of grinding, optimization of grinding,...

The paper proposes a novel approach to increase the performances of sol–gel coating for biomedical applications. In particular, ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning in combination with cryogenic cooling is explored first time generate complex and isotropic texture more prone be coated, and, turn, less corrosion susceptible compared corresponding surfaces generated through conventional machinin...

the evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. the rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. in the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

Abstract In recent years, research has begun to focus on the development of non-resonant elliptical vibration-assisted cutting (EVC) devices, because this technique offers good flexibility in manufacturing a wide range periodic microstructures with different wavelengths and heights. However, existing EVC devices for diamond turning can only operate at relatively low frequencies, which limits th...

This study presents a new method for modeling an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based on vibration for predicting surface roughness in the CNC turning process. The input parameters of the model are insert nose radius, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and vibration amplitude, which determine the output parameter of the surface roughness. A Gauss type membership function was ...

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted rock breaking is a potentially effective technique to accelerate hard drilling processes. Fatigue damage primary factor that governs fragmentation subject ultrasonic vibration, and when such accumulates critical level via crack initiation propagation, macro-damage (e.g., macro-cracks) will occur. To date, however, the specific fatigue mechanism of materials under h...
