Abstract
Two-dimensional ultrasonic-assisted grinding (2D-UAG) is a highly efficient process for brittle materials. Compared to conventional grinding (CG) and one-dimensional ultrasonic-assisted grinding (1D-UAG), the surface quality of workpieces can be further improved. Unidirectional carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide composites (UD-Cf/SiCs) have a wide range of applications in engineering. However, the existing mechanical models developed for the machining of Cf/SiCs have various limitations, especially the inability to reflect the transient force information. In this work, a dynamic force prediction model is developed for the 2D-UAG of the Cf/SiCs. In the modelling process, the micro-morphology of the grinding wheel was first characterized. Secondly, the cutting force of a single grit was obtained based on the fiber fracture theory and the energy conservation law. Finally, considering the grain movement in the 2D-UAG, a novel force decomposition and synthesis algorithm was used to calculate the total force. The validation results showed that the maximum predicted error of the model for the resultant force Fs is 14.86 % and the average value is 7.36 %. The predicted boundary values and mean values of the fractional forces Fn and Ft are also in good agreement with the experimental values. In addition, the fibers have a large influence on the fluctuation of the force value due to the suppression of transverse crack extension. The order of influence is Perpendicular > Transverse > Longitudinal.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences (IJMS) serves as a global platform for the publication and dissemination of original research that contributes to a deeper scientific understanding of the fundamental disciplines within mechanical, civil, and material engineering.
The primary focus of IJMS is to showcase innovative and ground-breaking work that utilizes analytical and computational modeling techniques, such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Element Method (BEM), and mesh-free methods, among others. These modeling methods are applied to diverse fields including rigid-body mechanics (e.g., dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, metal forming, advanced materials (e.g., metals, composites, cellular, smart) behavior and applications, impact mechanics, strain localization, and other nonlinear effects (e.g., large deflections, plasticity, fracture).
Additionally, IJMS covers the realms of fluid mechanics (both external and internal flows), tribology, thermodynamics, and materials processing. These subjects collectively form the core of the journal's content.
In summary, IJMS provides a prestigious platform for researchers to present their original contributions, shedding light on analytical and computational modeling methods in various areas of mechanical engineering, as well as exploring the behavior and application of advanced materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials processing.
