Abstract Micromilling process is widely used in biomedical and aerospace industries to produce complex 3D microscale features and components. The benefits of the micromilling process are ability of processing of wide range of materials, high quality surface finish, high material removal rate and submicron accuracy. One of the key limitations of micromachining is the low flexural stiffness of the microtool which can lead to chatter. Chatter in micromilling can be avoided by using the machining parameters within the stability limits. To predict the accurate stability limits, the tool tip dynamics need to be determined precisely. In this paper, a finite element method for determination of modal parameters has been proposed which considers the machine tool compliance at the clamping. The modeling of micro endmill and machine compliance is achieved by introducing elastic foundation interaction at the clamping interface. The model is further validated using experimental modal analysis on micro endmill at various locations and the results obtained were found to be in agreement with simulated results.

An approach to modeling the material removal rate (MRR) during rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of ceramics is proposed and applied to predicting the MRR for the case of magnesia stabilized zirconia. The model, a first attempt at predicting the MRR in RUM, is based on the assumption that brittle fracture is the primary mechanism of material removal. To justify this assumption, a model parameter (which models the ratio of the fractured volume to the indented volume of a single diamond particle) is shown to be invariant for most machining conditions. The model is mechanistic in the sense that this parameter can be observed experimentally from a few experiments for a particular material and then used in prediction of MRR over a wide range of process parameters. This is demonstrated for magnesia stabilized zirconia, where very good predictions are obtained using an estimate of this single parameter. On the basis of this model, relations between the material removal rate and the controllable machining parameters are deduced. These relationships agree well with the trends observed by experimental observations made by other investigators.

In the process of the ultrasonic machining, the machining efficiency is affected directly by material removal rate. In the paper, the material structure deformation under abrasive impacting is simulated by the LS-DYNA3D software, and the stresses occurring are analyzed numerically. In addition, the effects of some machining parameters on the amount of the material removal are investigated by the experiments.

In this study, effect of machining parameters and wear mechanism in milling process of mold steel AISI-P20 and AISI-1050, using 10 mm twin flute type end mill diameter. The experimental results found that characteristics of milling surfaces and wear of the mill end were directly influenced by changes of parameters for all test conditions. As a result, the quality of milling surfaces also changed. However, mould steels which had the good quality surface is AISI-1050, with roughnesses of 2.120 μm. Quality milling surfaces were milled by using the most suitable parameter feed rate of 45 mm/min, a spindle speed of 637 rpm and a cut depth level of 3 mm, for both grades. Moreover, material removal rate and duration of the milling process, the milling end mills affect wear of the edge in every bite when the feed rate is low, high speed and level depth of cut at least. It was found that limited wear less will affect the surface roughness (Ra) represents the good quality surface.

This study investigates the feasibility of EDM for processing ZrO2 and Al2O3 of non-conductive ceramics, which were covered by an assisted conductive material, an adherent copper foil, on the workpiece surface. The conductive material adhered on the surface of the non-conductive ceramics would induce a series of electrical discharges between the tool electrode and the workpiece in the initial stage of the EDM process. Thus, the pyrolytic carbon that cracked from kerosene was formed and deposited on the machined surface to maintain the progress of EDM. In this work, the essential EDM machining parameters were varied to determine the effects on material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), and surface roughness. The stability of EDM progress and the surface integrities of ZrO2 and Al2O3 machined by EDM were also investigated. The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility and development of an applicable process for processing non-conductive ceramics through EDM. Moreover, the exploitation of this work can be applied to industrial applications and used to develop machining techniques for non-conductive ceramics.

Micro EDM milling process is accruing a lot of importance in micro fabrication of difficult to machine materials. Any complex shape can be generated with the help of the controlled cylindrical tool in the pre determined path. Due to the complex material removal mechanism on the tool and the work piece, a detailed parametric study is required. In this study, the influence of various process parameters on material removal mechanism is investigated. Experiments were planned as per Response Surface Methodology (RSM) – Box Behnken design and performed under different cutting conditions of gap voltage, capacitance, electrode rotation speed and feed rate. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to identify the level of importance of machining parameters on the material removal rate. Maximum material removal rate was obtained at Voltage (115V), Capacitance (0.4μF), Electrode rotational Speed (1000rpm), and Feed rate (18mm/min). In addition, a mathematical model is created to predict the material removal

Abstract The deformation of the wire in the wiresaw slicing process was studied by considering directly the mechanical interaction between the wire and the ingot. The wire tension on the upstream is larger than on the downstream due to the friction force between the wire and the ingot. The tension difference across the cutting zone increases with friction and the span of the contact zone. The pressure in the contact zone increases from the entrance to the exit if the wire bending stiffness is ignored. The finite element results show that the wire bending stiffness plays an important role in the wire deformation. Higher wire bending stiffness (larger wire size) generates higher force acting onto the ingot for the same amount of wire deformation, which will leads to higher material removal rate and kerf loss. While larger wire span will reduce the force acting onto the ingot for a given ingot displacement in the direction perpendicular to the wire.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to contribute to the solution of the fatigue damage problem of reinforced concrete frames in bending.Design/methodology/approachThe problem of fatigue damage is formulated based on the rheological–dynamical analogy, including a scalar damage variable to address the reduction of stiffness in strain softening. The modal analysis is used by the finite element method for the determination of modal parameters and resonance stability of the selected frame cross-section. The objectivity of the presented method is verified by numerical examples, predicting the ductility in bending of the frame whose basic mechanical properties were obtained by non-destructive testing systems.FindingsThe modal analysis in the frame of the finite element method is suitable for the determination of modal parameters and resonance stability of the selected frame cross-section. It is recommended that the modulus of elasticity be determined by non-destructive methods, e.g. from the acoustic response.Originality/valueThe paper presents a novel method of solving the ductility in bending taking into account both the creep coefficient and the aging coefficient. The rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) method uses the resonant method to find material properties. The characterization of the structural damping via the damping ratio is original and effective.
