honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. this process is used for finalpolish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. optimizing this process has always been a bigchallenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. honing processhas some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested.in this re...

Technological progress in tunneling has led to modern and efficient tunneling methods in vast underground spaces even under inappropriate geological conditions. Identification and access to appropriate and sufficient geological hazard data are key elements to successful construction of underground structures. Choice of the method, excavation machine, and prediction of suitable solutions to over...

Chatter is a concern in boring process, due to the low dynamic stiffness of long cantilever boring bars. Chatter suppression in machining permits higher productivity and better surface finishes. The MR fluid, which changes stiffness and undergoes a phase transformation when subjected to an external magnetic field, is applied to adjust the stiffness of the boring bar and suppress chatter. The st...
