Excellent properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites are usually obtained in the direction at which carbon fibers are embedded in the polymeric matrix material. The outstanding properties of this ...

The topic of force reconstruction has been studied quite extensively but most of the existing research work that has been done are in the domain of structural and civil engineering construction like bridges and beams. ...

The demand for materials with high mechanical performances such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) is increasing. However, there are major challenges in machining CFRP as it involves delamination, fiber pullouts, ...

The deflections of screw rotors under machining forces cause mismatch between the male and female rotors and, consequently, accelerated wear and suboptimal efficiency in their performance. Optimizing the machining process ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) provides unique opportunities to push the boundaries of material properties and free form fabrication. However with this novel manufacturing technique a number of defects not commonly found in ...

Compared to conventional machine tools, industrial robots offer great advantages such as multitasking, larger workspace, and lower price. However, these advantages of robots are undermined by their high structural flexibility ...

Simplified analytical models of chip formation mechanics (e.g. the well-known Merchant’s model) are widely used to compute the machining forces in orthogonal cutting operations. The accuracy of analytical models, however, ...
