Form inspection using kernel methods
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2010-06-01)
Form inspection of non-linear surfaces is a difficult task as suitable analytical models are often unavailable. This paper presents a mathematical model for surface inspection of face-milled plates and determination of the ...
Re-examining the machining frictional boundary conditions using fractals
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2002-07-01)
This paper presents experimental evidence for the existence of non-Euclidean contact geometry at the tool-chip interface in the machining of aluminium alloy, which challenges conventional assumptions. The geometry of contact ...
Alternate methods for sampling in coordinate metrology
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2007-06-01)
A variety of inspection equipment exists in industry to capture the points on a surface that will envisage manufacturing form errors. Manufacturing inspection faces a problem of finding optimal methods to capture an evenly ...
Analysis of fractal frictional contact in machining
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2007-07-01)
A model of the interfacial frictional conditions at the secondary shear zone in oblique cutting is under development. It has been suggested that the tool-chip interface consists of sticking and sliding microcontacts, each ...
