The mechanistic and unified mechanics of cutting approaches to the prediction of forces in
milling operations are briefly described and compared. The mechanistic approach is shown …

Cutter runout is a universal condition affecting the performance of multi-tooth metal cutting
operations such as milling operations. In end milling, the use of set screw-type tool holders …

This paper describes the research and development of a successful method for high-speed
end-milling of aluminum parts with large, thin, flexible webs. Webs are the thin structures …

Peripheral milling of flexible components is a commonly used operation in the aerospace
industry. Aircraft wings, fuselage sections, jet engine compressors, turbine blades and a …

Cutting force has a significant influence on the dimensional accuracy due to tool and
workpiece deflection in peripheral milling. In this paper, the authors present an improved …

A fuzzy-nets based in-process surface roughness prediction (FN-ISRP) system based on the
fuzzy-nets training scheme has been developed for predicting the surface roughness …

Micromilling of metal structures with 'thin'features represents a major challenge towards
broadening the use of this technology in a range of microengineering applications, for …

Machining of thin-walled tubular geometries poses interesting problems from a process
planning perspective. In machining of such geometries by milling, cutting force-induced tool …

The feasibility of a newly proposed method for the removal of cutter marks in die finishing
operations has been investigated. The method is based on the superposition of a tertiary …
