The natural frequency and pull-in instability of clamped-clamped nano-actuators in the presence of a dielectric layer are analyzed. The influence of the presence of Casimir force, electrostatic force, fringing field effect, axial force, stretching effects and the size effect are taken into account. The governing equation of the dynamic response of the actuator is transformed in a non-dimensiona...

The effects of cutting tool coating material and cutting speed on cutting forces and surface roughness were investigated by Taguchi experimental design. Main cutting force, Fz is considered as a criterion. The effects of machining parameters were investigated using Taguchi L18 orthogonal array. Optimal cutting conditions were determined using the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio which is calculated ...

The axial force measurement plays important role in tool designing and identification of its restrictions. Also, it is vital in design of machine mechanism and optimization of welding process parameters. In this study, a friction stir welded butt join on AA7075-T651 aluminum alloy plate is investigated. With change of some parameters, factors including axial force, mechanical properties, microh...

In the process of turning, pointing at the uncertain phenomenon of cutting which is caused by the disturbance of random factors, for determining the uncertain scope of cutting force, the integrated symmetric fuzzy number and the finite element method (FEM) are used in the prediction of cutting force. The method used symmetric fuzzy number to establish fuzzy function between cutting force and th...

Tool wear increases cutting force, vibration, temperature, etc in end milling and reduces surface finish of the machined work piece. Mathematical model has been developed to predict the tool wear in terms of machining parameters such as helix angle of cutting tool, spindle speed, feed rate, axial and radial depth of cut. Central composite rotatable second order response surface methodology was ...

Improving the efficiency of drilling is an important task in engineering. Supported by improved board metal parts, which before elastically deform region below limit proportionally, ensures immutability other sizes. The experimental way was semi-centered dependence axial force when performing blanks from duralumin D16 elasticly stressful state. These dependences allow you to select Cor-Rubber c...

Chip formation during dry turning of Ti6Al4V alloy has been examined in association with dynamic cutting force measurements under different cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut. Both continuous and segmented chip formation processes were observed in one cut under conditions of low cutting speed and large feed rate. The slipping angle in the segmented chip was 551, which was higher than ...

17-4PH stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel that provides an outstanding combination of high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, good toughness in both base metal and welds, and short time, low-temperature heat treatments that minimize warpage and scaling.

It is very important to use reliable and inexpensive sensors to obtain useful information about manufacturing processing, such as cutting force, for monitoring automated machining. In this paper, the feed cutting force is measured using an inexpensive current sensor installed on the a.c. servo motor of a CNC turning centre. The factors that affect a feed drive system are analysed in detail, and...
