Van der Waals material nanostructures with a controllable high density of edges are difficult to produce by current fabrication methods. In the present study, a simple nanomachining process to fabricate van der Waals nanowires with a high density of edges is proposed. This method used a linear-edge diamond tool to cut the basal plane of van der Waals film materials into a one-dimensional nanowire at the nanoscale. Experimental tests were performed to investigate the influences of the cutting thickness, film thickness, cutting direction, and material properties on the machining outcomes. The results showed that the van der Waals materials possessed low Young's moduli ranging from 24 to 238 GPa by cutting with a cutting thickness of larger than 30 nm, and the out-of-plane cutting direction led to the best machining quality and controllable preparation of van der Waals nanowires. To support the interpretation of the process outcomes, molecular dynamics simulation and transmission electron microscopy were performed to reveal the material-removal mechanism during nanocutting of van der Waals materials. From analysis of the chip-deformation process, interlayer slipping was found to dominate the plastic processing of the van der Waals materials, accompanied by intralayer bending and intralayer fracture in the out-of-plane cutting direction. By contrast, the brittle removal state occurred when cutting in the in-plane direction. This study provides important insights into the material-removal mechanism of van der Waals materials prepared by nanoscale mechanical cutting.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 104018"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49885799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modeling technique of rolling kinematic joints with high nonlinearity can directly influence the accuracy and efficiency of prediction. Existing literature replicates the nonlinear static and dynamic characteristics considering the rolling element contact interface and proposes the theoretical modeling approach for the feed drives. However, there is a lack of systematic literature surveys. This paper reviews the current progress placed at the nonlinear analytical model of rolling kinematic joints, including ball screw feed drives, recirculating linear guideways, and ball screws. Advanced investigations on nonlinear dynamic stiffness and vibration response associated with ball screw feed drives are covered. Specifically, for linear guideways and ball screws, the stiffness and load distribution models can be divided into two categories: with and without consideration of the component structural deformations. Moreover, the corresponding detailed modeling process is introduced. The time-dependent modeling principle highlighting the recirculation motion of rolling elements is summarized, and friction and wear behavior is briefly discussed. The paper ends with the current research advancement and scarcity and recommends promising modeling tendencies. Particularly, the modeling tendencies require integrated model research on ball screw feed drives considering the more detailed nonlinear joint. Moreover, a fusion of multi-physics parameters is expected to achieve the high-fidelity mechanical model of key structural components for intelligent manufacturing demand.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 104021"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49886143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, a new precision electroforming process is proposed that combines auxiliary cathodes with pulse reverse current (PRC) electroforming, which provides a synergistic effect to increase the homogeneity of the thickness and a nanoscale twin structure. As a practical example of the proposed process, 4-inch nt-Cu lamina arrays were fabricated and numerically modeled to probe into the synergistic mechanisms. The intrinsic correlations among the array element spacing, current waveform, and main forms of thickness nonuniformity were determined. In addition, the effects of the processing parameters on the microstructural evolution and microhardness of the nt-Cu arrays were analyzed. The results indicated that such a significant improvement in thickness uniformity and microstructure homogeneity were due to the auxiliary-cathode/PRC combination, which enables maximization of the PRC leveling efficiency by inducing a uniform current distribution; this effectively ensures that the microstructures are uniform across all laminae on the wafer scale. Additionally, thick nt-Cu deposited on the current-crowding regions was preferentially stripped during the application of reverse current. This alleviates the adverse effects of the current redistribution resulting from the auxiliary cathode on the thickness uniformity of the laminae and offers additional possibilities for homogeneous growth of nt-Cu. The new precision electroforming process has significant potential to produce wafer-scale components with uniform thickness and specific microstructures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 104006"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49862597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods based on the receptance coupling substructure analysis (RCSA) can obtain rotating tool-tip FRFs using normal modal test devices; thus, they have received extensive attention in the research community. The typical RCSA framework first adopts a calibration rod for measuring rotating FRFs. Then, it analytically calculates the desired tool-tip FRFs through the RCSA theory. As the calculation process involves matrix inversion, high-quality FRF data is required. However, experimentally measured FRFs in rotating structures contain severe noise, leading to an unreliable calculation. This paper presents a novel error analysis model to investigate the propagation mechanism of measurement errors in the typical RCSA framework. Results show that measurement errors would cause errors in the length of the coupled substructure while introducing scaling effects. The calibration rod is found to be vital for RCSA calculation reliability. The patterns of the calculation error are opposed when adopting a short or long calibration rod. Then, a calibration rod selection strategy is proposed. The strategy makes full use of the high measurement quality near the resonance in rotating FRFs and achieves the dominant mode frequency matching between the clamped rod and the clamped tool by adjusting the rod length. Simulations validate the error analysis model and the calibration rod selection strategy. Experimental results also show that the optimal selection of the calibration rod could improve the calculation reliability of rotating tool-tip FRFs in the typical RCSA framework.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 104016"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49862594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, this study shows a direct visualisation of the hydrogen evolution and cathodic discharge in EJM using high-speed photography. An in-depth analysis of the discharge behaviour was carried out based on electrical monitoring, temperature measurement, and characterisation of the resulting changes in the electrode surface. It was revealed that the current density threshold determines the discharge ignition. Discharge occurs preferentially at the inner edge of the nozzle end face, which can cause nozzle wear and reduce localisation of anode workpiece dissolution. The discharge intensity can be controlled by varying the applied voltage and pulse frequency. The electrolyte flow velocity and gap distance influence the discharge behaviour. With appropriate process control, cathodic plasma can enhance the EJM performance while minimising its negative impact.

Therefore, it is important to study the transient thermal characteristics of machine tools and the thermal-error control strategies. Thus far, a transient analytical modelling method for characterising the thermal characteristics of machine tools was proposed and an active error control strategy was provided. First, temperature-field modelling was conducted using an analytical method based on the Fourier series method and partial differential equations of heat conduction.

The proposed analytical modelling method not only predicts the machine tool heat deformation based on the working conditions of the heat source, but also matches the thermal control source power with the demand of the machine tool heat deformation. The optimal real-time power of the thermal control source is dynamically iterated and matched, such that the thermal deformation caused by the heat and thermal control sources can be balanced in real time at the displacement control point.

The scratch force, material removal efficiency based on the scratched surface, and subsurface damage were analysed to determine the laser effects. A smaller scratch force can be achieved by laser assistance, and an appropriate laser power can enhance the material removal efficiency.

To overcome this limitation, rolling motion is introduced at the tool-chip interface by mounting a roller at the tip of a cutting tool – termed as Rotating Tip Cutting Tool (RTC-tool). The roller in RTC-tool rotates during cutting and establishes rolling-sliding contact. A model <em>in-situ</em> experimental configuration is used to study the plane strain flow characteristic of pure copper, notoriously known for higher chip thickness and power consumption, during cutting at low speed. The performance of RTC-tool is compared with sharp cutting-edge and blunt cutting-edge tools (fixed curvature and stationary-roller-tip tool). It is found that rolling motion at the tool-tip decreases the chip thickness and average plastic strain within the chip by about two times than sharp tool and more than two times than the blunt tools. Additionally, there is a significant improvement in surface roughness than the sharp tool. The digital image correlation techniques reveal that flow characteristics within the chip and near the tool-tip interface (retardation region) are influenced by the non-laminar plastic flow of materials. As opposed to the unstable retardation region and periodic cracking at the tool-tip of sharp tool, additional rolling motion at the tool-tip cuts the chip at the incipient stage, forms a stable retardation region, and increases the average velocity of the material in this region. Large retardation region and sloth motion of materials within the retardation region produce large chip thickness during cutting by blunt edge tool. As the chip thickness rather power consumption of the sharp tool is less than the blunt tool, force measurement in nearly orthogonal cutting configuration of RTC-tool compared with the sharp cutting edge. These tests are performed at moderate speed range in a lathe machine. The force measurement data and post-cutting characterization are aligned with the <em>in-situ</em> observations. As the frictional resistance of the roller controls the chip thickness further improvement in the performance of the RTC-tool is possible by reducing the frictional resistance of the roller.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 104001"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49888083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
