However, they are difficult-to-machine materials. Electrical discharge Micro-machining machining (EDM) can be used to machine difficult to cut materials with good accuracy. However, several Shape memory alloy challenges and issues related with the process at micro-level continue to exist. One of the aforementioned issues MOGA-II is that the micro-EDM (µEDM) process is extremely slow when compared to other non-conventional processes, such as laser machining, although it offers several other benefits. The study considers the analysis and opti- mization of µEDM by using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA-II). Drilling of micro-holes is performed by using a tabletop electrical discharge machine. Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) based SMA (a difficult to cut advance material) is used as a specimen. The objective involves determining optimal machining parameters to obtain better material removal rate with good surface finish.

IMechE, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, Vol. 228 (6), pp. 826-836, 2014. Vibration suppression in machining of thin wall casings through tuned mass dampers – A finite element analysis approach K Kollurua, D Axintea,*, M Rafflesa, AA Beckera, B Staplesb, P Wintonb a Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK b Rolls-Royce plc, Derby DE24 8BJ, UK Abstract Damping of machining vibrations in thin walled structures is an important area of research due to the ever-increasing use of lightweight structures such as jet engine casings. Previous work reported in the literature has focussed on passive and active damping solutions for simple planar thin walls; whereas vibration damping in thin wall ring type casings was not reported. Moreover, implementation of any of these solutions on an industrial scale component needs proven simulation tools for validation. In this work, a passive damping solution in the form of tuned viscoelastic dampers is studied to minimise the vibration of thin walled casings. The implementation of tuned dampers was driven by a specific characteristic observed for the casing under study where a couple of modes dominate the dynamic response. Finite element simulation studies are carried out for a casing both with and without passive dampers, and are validated using machining tests and experimental modal tests. The finite element predictions are found to match with experimental results with reasonable accuracy.

And they are often processed by machining operation, such as turning and milling. However, machining of these mechanical parts are more challenging than rigid ones. The main reason of this is that the dynamic properties, such as stiffness and damping, are very low. Therefore, machining of thin-walled mechanical parts can induce chatter vibration, accelerate tool wear, and lead machining error easily which are major obstacles in order to achieve desired products. In machining process, those negative phenomena are often monitored by analysis of vibration, cutting force, and temperature which are often measured by such kinds of sensors. The advanced sensors would exert their potential with an appropriate signal processing technique to extract the features of measured signals which provide an important information about machining states. Another word, signal processing is important to guarantee reliable results. In vibration analysis, researchers use many kinds of signal processing techniques for machining process monitoring.

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” Steve Jobs (1955-2011) Stanford commencement address, June 2005 Abstract With advances in material technology, allowing, for instance, engines to withstand higher combustion pressure and consequently improving performance, comes challenges to productivity. These materials are, in fact, more difficult to machine with regards to tool wear and especially machine tool stability. Machining vibrations have historically been one of the major limitations to productivity and product quality and the cost of machining vibration for cylinder head manufacturing has been estimated at 0.35 euro per part. The literature review shows that most of the research on cutting stability has been concentrating on the use of the stability limits diagram (SLD), addressing the limitations of this approach.

The main advantages: • Machining in one setup With a magnetic chuck the piece is always free on 5 sides; working with a single positioning optimizes the toolpath in face milling, contouring and drilling. The limits of traditional mechanical clamping systems are thus overcome: in fact, their presence obstructs the complete access to the component to be machined, forcing to multiple placements to complete the processing cycle. • Uniformity of clamping The clamping force is evenly distributed over the entire contact surface: the workpiece is not compressed or deformed. Traditional clamps are used to act by points, causing tensions that generate vibrations and machining resonances. • Quick positioning and fixing of the workpiece In a few seconds, through an electrical discharge, the magnetic circuit is activated and the workpiece is clamped. The power supply is required only for the phases of activation and deactivation. 2-3 APPLIED MONOLITHIC TECHNOLOGY MillTec characteristics: Monolithic technology • Monolithic technology MillTec series is a new generation of magnetic equipment, characterized by a monolithic Made from a block of steel, honeycomb structure, without mechanically- without any fixing elements assembled parts. • Permanent-electro safety The poles, obtained by core drilling from a Workpiece remains clamped single block of steel, are an integral part of even without power supply the frame and therefore capable of absorbing heavy operating efforts, maintaining absolute stability.

Prediction models were developed using multiple regression analysis and an artificial neural network (ANN) modeling approach. To reduce the effect of chatter, machining tests were conducted under varying cutting parameters as defined in the stable regions of the milling tool. The surface roughness and machining vibration level are modeled with nonlinear quadratic forms based on the cutting parameters and their interactions through multiple regression analysis methods, respectively. Analysis of variance was employed to determine the significance of cutting parameters on surface roughness. The results show that the combined effects of spindle speed and cutting depth significantly influence surface roughness. The comparison between the prediction performance of the multiple regression and neural network-based models reveal that the ANN models achieve higher prediction accuracy for all training data with R = 0.96 and root mean square error (RMSE) = 3.0% compared with regression models with R = 0.82 and RMSE = 7.57%.
