The complicated geometries involved with multiaxis machining make it difficult to manually estimate acceptable feedrates without being overly conservative. Our strategy is to use a computer simulation of the machining process to estimate the feeds based on in-process cutting information. The simulation consists of two distinct portions: a discrete geometric model of the material removal process, and a discrete mechanistic model of the cutting forces involved. The mechanistic model estimates cutting forces as a function of material properties of the stock and cutting tool, cut geometry, and feedrate. Used in an inverse manner, the mechanistic model can estimate the feedrates necessary to maintain a constant cutting force. This force may be selected to maintain a desired part tolerance, or to meet some other criteria (e.g. machine constraints). The cut geometry information required by the inverse mechanistic model is provided by the geometric model of the material removal process. The geometric model also dynamically stores in-process stock geometry as the simulation progresses. The results of this research has shown that it is possible to automatically generate adaptive feeds using these combined models.","PeriodicalId":432053,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Science and Engineering: Volume 1","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133537013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kao, Vish Prasad","doi":"10.1115/imece1997-1121","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/imece1997-1121","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Wiresaw is a cost-effective technology with high surface quality for slicing large diameter silicon wafers. Though wiresaws have been deployed to cut polycrystalline and single crystal silicon ingot since early 1990s, very little is known about the fundamental cutting process. We investigate this manufacturing process and propose a contact stress model of wiresaw slicing which illustrates the interactions among the wire, ingot, and abrasives (e.g., SiC) carried by the slurry. Stresses created by wiresaw slicing silicon wafers are analyzed in this paper. During the cutting process, the wire moves at high speed (5–15 m/s) with respect to the silicon ingot. The abrasives in the slurry are lose third-body particles caught between the wire and ingot at the contact surface. The forces applied by the wire carry the abrasive particles and cause them to roll on the surface and at the same time to be constrained to indent the surface. Such rolling-indenting interactions result in the formation of isolated chips and surface cracks. The cracks and discontinuity on the surface also cause high stress concentration. As a result the material is cut and removed. The stress fields of a single circular cone of the abrasive particle indenting on silicon crystal with normal and tangential forces can be calculated and analyzed from the modeling equations and boundary conditions. The stresses are expressed with dimensionless stress measures, as functions of normalized geometric parameters. The results show that the maximum normal stress occurs at the indentation point while the maximum shear stress (σzx) occurs below the surface of contact, as expected. Such subsurface shear facilitates the peeling effects of the silicon cracks. Both the normal and tangential forces applied at the contacts are incorporated in the model. The model is very effective in explaining and predicting the behaviors and distributions of stresses during the cutting process, and can be used to determine the optimal geometry of the abrasive particles in the rolling-indenting process.","PeriodicalId":432053,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Science and Engineering: Volume 1","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132622045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cautions should be placed in decision-making when multiple indices are used, since each index may carry different information or different aspects of the knowledge for the process/system umber study. To this end, a practical scheme for index evaluation based on entropy and information gain is presented. This procedure is useful when index ranking is needed in designing a classifier for a complex system or process. Both regional entropy and class entropy are introduced based a set of training data. Application of this scheme is illustrated by using a data set for a tapping process.","PeriodicalId":432053,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Science and Engineering: Volume 1","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131029642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
