Abstract We analyze unsteady plastic flow modes in cutting of metals using high-speed imaging of the deformation zone, in situ. For metals which exhibit high levels of strain hardening, the commonly assumed steady (smooth) flow is inherently unstable. Instead, the cutting is characterized by unsteady sinuous flow, with large-amplitude folding, that is triggered by a plastic buckling instability linked to the material microstructure. A mechanochemical effect caused by Al-Alcohol chemical reaction on workpiece surface, which is coupled to the unsteady flow mode, is highlighted. Experimental results reinforce the hypothesis pertaining to flow stability governing the deformation mode and chip type.

The flow dynamics, deformation fields and chip-particle formation in cutting and sliding of metals are analysed, in situ , using high-speed imaging and particle image velocimetry. The model system is a brass workpiece loaded against a wedge indenter at low speeds. At large negative rake angles, the flow is steady with a prow of material forming ahead of the indenter. There is no material removal and a uniformly strained layer develops on the workpiece surface—the pure sliding regime. When the rake angle is less negative, the flow becomes unsteady, triggered by formation of a crack on the prow free surface and material removal ensuing—the cutting regime. The strain on the prow surface at crack initiation is found to be constant. Chip morphologies, such as discrete particle, segmented chip and continuous chip with mesoscale roughness, are shown to arise from a universal mechanism involving propagation of the prow crack, but to different distances towards the indenter tip. The simple shear deformation in continuous chip formation shows small-angle oscillations also linked to the prow crack. Implications for material removal processes and ductile failure are discussed.

Abstract Chip formation in conventional cutting occurs by deformation that is only partially bounded by the cutting tool. The unconstrained free surface is a complication in determining the deformation of chip formation. The constrained cutting employs a constraining tool in the cutting process to confine the otherwise free surface and enable direct control of the chip formation deformation. A study has been made on the deformation mechanics of plane-strain constrained cutting using high speed imaging and digital image correlation (DIC) methods. For different constrained levels (including unconstrained free cutting), material flow of chip formation is directly observed; strain rate and strain in the chip as well as the subsurface region are quantified; cutting forces are measured; and surface finish are examed. The study shows that chip formation in constrained cutting can occur in two different deformation modes, i.e., simple shear and complex extrusion, depending on the constrained level. Constrained cutting in simple shear regime can reduce strain, reduce cutting force and energy, and improve surface finish compared to free cutting, therefore it is more efficient for material removal than free cutting. Constrained cutting in the complex extrusion regime imposes a significant amount of surface / subsurface deformation and consumes a very high cutting energy, and therefore is not suitable for material removal. Furthermore, the mechanics of chip formation in both free cutting and constrained cutting, especially the roles played by the free surface and the constraining tool, are discussed.

High speed imaging, including the ultrafast synchrotron X-ray imaging facility at the beamline 32-ID-B of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), was used to study in-situ (1) the dynamics of ultrasonic bubbles inside a water suspension with an acoustic field of varied pressure; and (2) the interaction of a pulsing bubble at a primary dendrite arm tip inside a succinonitrile-1wt% camphor organic transparent alloy. A simple finite element based model was developed to simulate the stress distribution inside the dendrite due to the pulsing of the ultrasonic bubble, providing more evidence for understanding quantitatively the ultrasonic wave induced dendrite fragmentation phenomenon.

AbstractIn vertebrate hearing organs, mechanical vibrations are converted to ionic currents through mechanoelectrical-transduction (MET) channels. Concerted stereocilia motion produces an ensemble MET current driving the hair-cell receptor potential. Mammalian cochleae are unique in that the tuning of sensory cells is determined by their mechanical environment and the mode of hair-bundle stimulation that their environment creates. However, little is known about the in situ intra-hair-bundle motions of stereocilia relative to one another, or to their environment. In this study, high-speed imaging allowed the stereocilium and cell-body motions of inner hair cells to be monitored in an ex vivo organ of Corti (OoC) mouse preparation. We have found that the OoC rotates about the base of the inner pillar cell, the hair bundle rotates about its base and lags behind the motion of the apical surface of the cell, and the individual stereocilia move semi-independently within a given hair bundle.

In situ, high-speed imaging experiments have revealed the existence of sinuous flow, a recently discovered mode of chip formation in machining. The origin and consequences of sinuous flow are still being investigated, but it is now known that sinuous flow involves extensive redundant plastic deformation, poor surface finish and paradoxically high cutting forces. Here, we use full-scale simulations to show that microstructure related inhomogeneity is a major cause of sinuous flow. The simulations are conducted in a Lagrangian FE framework, and use a simple pseudograin model to represent the metal workpiece as a polycrystalline aggregate. The model successfully captures all essential features of sinuous flow in metals like OFHC copper and CP aluminum, and points to the importance of including material microstructure in cutting simulations.
