Severe tribological behaviours, such as abrasive and adhesive wear, lead to blank rupture, surface scratches and shape deviation of the formed parts, increasing the cost and time required for maintenance. To understand the mechanism governing tribological behaviours during consecutive stamping strokes, this study proposes a finite element (FE) simulation of the interface between the blank and tool steel. The FE simulation involves measuring the surface topography in a real stamping tool to obtain local contact conditions. The effects of the nominal pressure and range of the friction coefficient on the local contact conditions were studied. A tribological test capable of accurately reproducing the press hardening conditions was conducted to validate FE simulation. The local contact conditions in terms of contact pressure, contact area and sliding distance were found to differ from the nominal values. The proposed FE simulation involving a rough surface explores the possible length scale of the surface topography, wherein the calculated parameters are likely the main factors affecting wear. Furthermore, the correlation between the test variables and local contact conditions can help optimise the process parameters and lubricity.","PeriodicalId":20663,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141800490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metamaterial structure is a new type of composite material designed artificially, by combining material technology with mechanical design technology, to achieve properties that cannot be achieved by conventional materials. Using the metamaterial design method, two materials with a large difference in thermal expansion coefficient are selected to design and realize the negative expansion unit structure. Combining the designed negative expansion structure and the conventional structure with positive expansion, the ultra-low expansion characteristics are finally realized through the mutual compensation of the thermal deformation properties of the two.

However, the specific influence of transverse vibration relaxation on bolted composite joints has not been extensively studied. This study aims to investigate the effects of transverse vibration relaxation on bolted composite joints. A series of transverse vibration experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of initial preload, displacement load, and lubrication position on bolt preload relaxation. Additionally, tensile tests were performed on composite joints after relaxation and without relaxation to evaluate mechanical properties quantitatively. A finite element model was established to reveal the mechanism of damage evolution. The results indicate that displacement load and thread lubrication have the most significant influence on bolt preload relaxation. The clamping force of the composite structure generated by the smaller preload force has a limited effect on damage suppression during the tensile process. The relaxation of bolt preload can be effectively reduced by increasing the initial preload properly. The tensile strength of composite laminated structures with 10%, 22%, and 32% relaxation (10.4 kN initial preload) decreased by 5%, 6%, and 11%, respectively. Transverse vibration relaxation affects the tensile strength of composite structures, which is caused by the decay of preload. In contrast, the damage to the hole wall of the connection domain caused by transverse vibration almost does not affect the bearing capacity of the composite joints. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of bolted composite joints’ durability by uncovering the novel effects of transverse vibration relaxation and providing valuable insights for design and optimization strategies in composite joint applications.","PeriodicalId":20663,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141804370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These improvements are crucial since equipment failures can cause extensive and costly disruptions to both maintenance schedules and operations. As precision and reliability are critical in production processes, undetected fluctuations in operating frequencies can swiftly escalate to complete part failure, leading to prolonged repairs and productivity loss. This study explores an integrated dataflow pipeline, specifically through Siemens’ MindSphere, to enable continuous predictive maintenance and enhance data acquisition and management. Particularly, conditions such as normal operation, mass balance, rotating imbalance, and mechanical looseness are classified using support vector machine (SVM), neural network (NN), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) methods for the purpose of comparing results. Our results highlight the efficacy of ensemble techniques in collecting and diagnosing vibration signatures, thereby enabling proactive maintenance. To classify various failure signatures, we have proposed a framework to interpret time-series and frequency-dependent data for determining failure types. This research exemplifies how merging data-driven methods with digital twin can improve the accuracy and reliability of condition monitoring. Additionally, we introduce a cloud-based architecture for the diagnosis of rotating machinery, utilizing Application Programming Interface (API) configurations, and develop a real-time dashboard for streaming and visualizing classified data, fostering immediate and informed decision-making.","PeriodicalId":20663,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, an investigation of micro milling of microgroove arrays on TiAl alloy was studied. The effects of cutting parameters including the feed per tooth (fz) and depth of cut ( ap) on the milling force, surface morphology, surface roughness and burr size of the micro-slots were investigated. The wear types and mechanisms of the micro end mills were also studied. The results showed that the optimal cutting parameters were fz = 3.5 μm/z and ap = 4 μm, which provided the best surface roughness Sa of 152 nm, top-burr heights on up- and down-milling sides of 19 and 19.5 μm respectively. Using the optimized cutting parameters, microgrooves with a width of 500 μm, aspect ratio of 5 and array period of 10 were fabricated successfully. Surface topography, dimensional accuracy and perpendicularity of the microgroove arrays were characterized. Results demonstrated that an increase in the microgroove number, microgroove edge chipping as well as burrs of the entrance and exit increased gradually. The dimensional error between the obtained width and the designed width of the microgroove was less than 2%, and the slope of the sidewalls reached more than 89°. The wear mechanisms of the micro end mills were abrasive wear and adhesive wear, and wear types were coating delamination, cutting edge chipping, and tool nose breakage.","PeriodicalId":20663,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141806742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although a large amount of work has been done to achieve tool selection for a single feature, there is relatively little research on tool scheme adaptation for multi-feature parts. Considering the factors of matching, efficiency, cost, and environment, a comprehensive optimization method for a multi-feature part tool scheme is proposed in this work. First, the critical tool of a complex feature is defined, and a tool combination method with complex single features is proposed to generate an efficient tool strategy. Then, a tool scheme optimization model for multi-feature parts is constructed in which each machining feature is mapped to a game player in the model space, and the set of available tools is mapped to the player strategies. In addition, the classical evolutionary game algorithm is improved to adapt to the model, according to the difference in the features number and type of different parts. Finally, a square test piece is taken as a case to verify the proposed method. The result shows that the method presented in this work can efficiently obtain the customer-preferred tool scheme for the part.","PeriodicalId":20663,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141808272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Micro-milling is an effective technology for machining small LF21 precision parts. Cutting forces and temperature are crucial factors in micro-milling process, directly affect tool vibration, tool wear, and surface quality of the workpiece, and even result in large deformation of the tool and workpiece. Direct measurement of cutting forces during micro-milling requires high-precision and expensive instruments. Moreover, due to the small cutting area in micro-milling, it is challenging to achieve accurate measurements of cutting area temperature. Therefore, accurate prediction of cutting forces and temperature in micro-milling is urgent and challenging. Nowadays, there are few studies on prediction of cutting forces in micro-milling LF21. The study on prediction of temperature in micro-milling LF21 is still blank. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a finite element method based on modeling for prediction of cutting forces and temperature in micro-milling LF21. ABAQUS software is adopted. First, the geometry models of the micro-milling tool and workpiece are established. Then, the assembly and mesh division of the established models are completed. Johnson-Cook constitutive model and Johnson-Cook damage criteria are used to describe the material constitutive relationship and chip separation criteria, respectively. The suitable tool-workpiece friction models are determined. Finally, the simulation of the micro-milling LF21 process is achieved. Experiments of micro-milling LF21 are conducted and the cutting forces are measured using the dynamometer. The validity of the built process simulation model and the correctness of the cutting force prediction results are verified by the comparison of experiment and simulation cutting forces. Then, the prediction of temperature is achieved based on the verified process simulation model of micro-milling LF21.","PeriodicalId":20663,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141812877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
