Abrasive Disc Performance in Dry-Cutting of Medium-Carbon Steel
(2020-04-19)
Abrasive-cutting processes are widely used to obtain semi-finished products from metal bars, slabs, or tubes. Thus, the abrasive cutting-off process is applied when requiring precision cutting and productivity at a moderate ...
Inspection scheduling based onreliability updating of gas turbinewelded structures
(Sage, 2019-01-28)
This article presents a novel methodology for the inspection scheduling of gas turbine welded structures, based on reliability calculations and overhaul findings. The model was based on a probabilistic crack propagation ...
Flexible Abrasive Tools for the Deburring and Finishing of Holes in Superalloys
(MDPI, 2018-12-06)
Many manufacturing sectors require high surface finishing. After machining operations such as milling or drilling, undesirable burrs or insufficient edge finishing may be generated. For decades, many finishing processes ...
On the Cutting Performance of Segmented Diamond Blades when Dry-Cutting Concrete
(MDPI, 2018-02-09)
The objective of the present study is to analyze and compare the cutting performance of segmented diamond blades when dry-cutting concrete. A cutting criteria is proposed to characterize the wear of the blades by measuring ...
Short-Cut Method to Assess a Gross Available Energy in a Medium-Load Screw Friction Press
(MDPI, 2018-03)
The present study proposed a rapid method, based on a previous universal compression tests, to estimate the required load capacity to cold forge different specimen quantity in a screw press. Accordingly, experimental and ...
Threading Performance of Different Coatings for High Speed Steel Tapping
(MDPI, 2020-05-10)
Threading holes using tapping tools is a widely used machining operation in the industry. This manufacturing process involves a great tool immersion in the part, which involves both friction and cutting. This makes the use ...
Semi-Active Magnetorheological Damper Device for Chatter Mitigation during Milling of Thin-Floor Components
(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
The productivity during the machining of thin-floor components is limited due to unstable vibrations, which lead to poor surface quality and part rejection at the last stage of the manufacturing process. In this article, ...
Uncharted Stable Peninsula for Multivariable Milling Tools by High-Order Homotopy Perturbation Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
In this work, a new method for solving a delay differential equation (DDE) with multiple delays is presented by using second- and third-order polynomials to approximate the delayed terms using the enhanced homotopy ...
A reliable turning process by the early use of a deep simulation model at several manufacturing stages
(MDPI, 2017-05-02)
The future of machine tools will be dominated by highly flexible and interconnected systems, in order to achieve the required productivity, accuracy, and reliability. Nowadays, distortion and vibration problems are easily ...
Identification of Key Performance Indicators in Project-Based Organisations through the Lean Approach
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
For the time being, companies and organisations are being forced to compete in utterly complex and globalised environments, facing massive natural, economic, and technological challenges on a daily basis. Addressing these ...
