This paper aims to reveal the material removal mechanisms and the mechanics behind the vibration-assisted cutting (VAC) of unidirectional fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Through a comprehensive analysis by integrating the core factors of the VAC, including fibre orientation and deformation, fibre–matrix interface, tool–fibre contact and tool–workpiece contact, a reliable mechanics model...
In the field of ultra-precision machining, the study of the relation between chip morphology and tool wear is significant, since tool wear characteristics can be reflected by morphologies of cutting chips. In this research, the relation between chip morphology and tool flank wear is first investigated in UPRM. A cutting experiment was performed to explore chip morphologies under different widths of...
Laser-based non-contact micro-adjustment method is a way of going beyond limits of traditional mechanical techniques applied for precise alignment during assembly of miniature opto-electro-mechanical devices. The two-bridge actuator is an on-board structure that allows for adjustments with micrometer, sub-micrometer or sub-miliradian accuracy. Successful industrial application of the method requires...
Researchers have observed formation of microcracks during metal cutting and attributed their occurrence to various phenomena. Shaw postulated that under the combined shear and normal stress conditions on shear plane, microcracks could occur when strain in the shear plane exceeds the failure limit of material. However, the phenomenon of microcrack formation is difficult to capture experimentally. Therefore,...
