Sensitivity analysis plays a key role in structural optimization, but traditional methods of sensitivity analysis in strength and stiffness are time consuming and of high cost. In order to effectively carry out structural optimization of hydraulic press, this paper presents a novel sensitivity analysis method in structural performance of hydraulic press, which saves a great deal of time and design costs. The key dimension parameters of the optimization of design variables, which remarkably impact on the structural performance of hydraulic press, are efficiently selected. The impact order of various sensitivity parameters in strength and stiffness of machine tools is consistent with the sensitivity ranking of regression analysis. The research results provide the basis for the hydraulic machine design and references in research of machine tools and equipment.

Ultramicrotomists live in a state of guerilla warfare with chatter. This situation is likely to be permanent. We can infer this from the history of machine tools. If set the wrong way for the particular combination of cutting tool and material, most if not all machine tools will chatter.In more than 100 years since machine tools became common, no one has evolved a practical recipe that guarantees avoiding chatter. Rather than follow some single very conservative rule to avoid chatter in all cases, machinists detect it when it happens, and change conditions until it stops. This is possible because they have no trouble telling when their cutting tool is chattering. They can see chatter marks, and they can also hear a sometimes deafening noise.
