Passive means of vibration attenuation have been employed successfully and efficiently in machining systems such as turning and milling. Traditional approach to controlling vibration in a milling system is to develop control mechanisms... more
This paper presents numerical results obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in studying large diameter welded neck steel flanges under different loading conditions. Obtained FEA results show the effect of the clamping pressure,... more
We report the first direct measurements of clamping strains within individual wires of a 19 parallel wire strand constrained by a clamshell clamp. In these measurements neutron diffraction was used to determine the elastic strains along... more
The objective was to evaluate the effect of temperature and clamping method during heat treatment on the properties of high density Okan wood. Heat treatment of sapwood and heartwood was conducted using an electric oven with a... more
This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of microstructural parameters, such as aggregate size, and macroscopic parameters, such as specimen dimensions, on brittle fracture. Maximum aggregate size was used as a... more
Microsurface scale characteristics (roughness, waviness and form) and the workpiece mounting fixture effects must be accounted and compensated for during laser micromachining such that the focused laser spot position is known in the... more
Present situation in the industrial manufacture has brought new trends in the kind of flexibility and intelligence. That means new generation of intelligent manufacturing systems. New generation of clamping fixtures is represented by... more
Fixtures are used to locate and hold workpieces during manufacturing. Because workpiece surface errors and fixture set-up errors (called source errors) always exist, the fixtured workpiece will consequently have position and/or... more
Assembly planning and evaluation is an impor-tant component of the product design process in which details about how parts of a new product will be put together are formalized. A well designed assembly process should take into account... more
A stream-of-variation analysis (SOVA) model for three-dimensional (3D) rigid-body assemblies in a single station is developed. Both product and process information, such as part and fixture locating errors, are integrated in the model.... more
