They might affect the load of the machine and, in the case of fine turning, the deformation of thin and slim workpieces. The generated forces depend not only on material properties (hardness, tensile strength) and on cutting parameters, but also on the tool edge geometry, that strongly determines the geometry of the chip (thickness and width). This article deals with the application of a force model adapted for precise turning technology. Three different types of materials widely used in mass production were taken into consideration (C45 and KO36 steel types and AS12 die-cast aluminium alloy). The components of cutting force were measured in three directions (Fc , Ff , Fp ) and the specific cutting forces were calculated. The main values of specific cutting forces were introduced for precision turning (k1, 0.1); using this, a new force model was constructed based on the theoretical parameters of the non-deformed chip cross-section (heq is equivalent chip thickness and leff effective length of the edge of the tool) in case of all three examined materials. Investigations revealed that the influence of leff on specific cutting force components is not negligible; however, it has the least effect on kc and is the most influential in case of kp. The errors of the constructed new force models follow Gaussian distribution with low values of standard deviation. Thereby, the models can be applied to estimate cutting force components during the technological process planning procedure with adequate accuracy.","PeriodicalId":49472,"journal":{"name":"Strojniski Vestnik-Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2017-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73743310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effectiveness of the process rests on the balance between the surface quality of the blanks and energy conservation during the process. The effects of different process parameters on surface quality and energy efficiency have been studied by researchers, but there is a gap concerning the effect of the thickness-to-die diameter ratio on surface quality and energy efficiency. In this study, four different thickness-to-die diameter ratios (t/Dm=1/5, t/Dm=1/10, t/Dm=1/30 and t/Dm=1/50) with five different clearances (1 %, 3 %, 5 %, 10 %, and 20 % of thickness) were used to blank 2-mm-thick round workpieces made of AISI 304 stainless steel. Both experimental and FEM studies were accomplished. A special die set was manufactured and a hydraulic press was used for experimental studies. For FEM studies, Deform-2D was used. Investigations were made on the effects of different thickness-todie diameter ratios on the blanking force, cutting energy crack propagation angles, and zone distribution related to surface quality. Results gathered from FEM simulations and experimental studies were coherent with each other.","PeriodicalId":49472,"journal":{"name":"Strojniski Vestnik-Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2017-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90050675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Console beams are made from the low-alloy EN 42 CrMo 4 steel in its normalized state (184 HV), which exhibits cyclic hardening, and in its tempered state (296 HV), which is subject to cyclic softening. Numerical simulations were performed on constitutive model of cyclic plasticity taking into account the kinematic hardening, isotropic hardening or softening and formulations of the YPP which are based on the change of the elastic region surface in the stress space at first transition into the stress plateau.

These are key features for robots. Some error sources in robots originate from assemblage, servo actuator resolution, reducer backlash, and joint clearances [1]. These errors reduce the accuracy of the robot and must be controlled to ensure the quality of the desired movement. In this regard, increased importance has been given to the accuracy of robots through various contributions in the relevant literature [2] to [5]. In comparison to machine tools, industrial robots are flexible and relatively cheaper in terms of cost. At the same time, such robots are susceptible to errors from many sources due to their serial structure. To ensure the positioning accuracy of a robot end effector as well as to reduce the manufacturing cost of the robot, it is necessary to quantify the influence of the uncertain factors and optimally allocate the tolerances. A novel and simple approach to identify the positional and directional errors due to the joint clearance of linkages and manipulators based on a geometrical model was introduced [6]. A general probability density function of the endpoint of planar robots with joint clearance was established to derive the distribution functions for any position tolerance zone and any joint distribution type [7]. Some errors arising from link stiffness and clearances were considered to predict the accuracy of the parallel devices [8]. By considering the positional and directional errors of the robot hand and the manufacturing cost, the optimal allocation of joint tolerances was investigated. Interval analysis was used to predict the errors in the manipulator performance [9]. Singularity analysis and modelling of the joint clearance effects on the parallel robot’s accuracy were conducted. An analytical model was presented to easily predict the pose error for a given external load, a nominal pose and the structural parameters [3]. A procedure to calculate the positional error in parallel manipulators due to both clearances and elastic deformations was proposed [10]. For analysing the location of the discontinuities, a methodology was presented and the advantages of approach were analysed using a 5R planar mechanism [11]. The effect of joint flexibility on the dynamic performance of a serial spatial robot arm with rigid links was studied by using three developed models [12]. A novel method based on trajectory planning to avoid detachment of the joint elements of a manipulator with clearances was presented. An improved detachment criterion for the different joint types was proposed [13]. The clearance effects on an industrial robot were studied during 2D welding operations.

The ranges of studied Reynolds number, Rayleigh number, magnetic field strength, nanoparticle volume concentration and slip coefficient include 200 ≤ Re ≤ 4000; 103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106; 0 ≤ Ha 90; 0 ≤ φ ≤ 2%; 0.005 ≤ B ≤ 0.02, respectively. The results show that increasing Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume fractions improve heat transfer in the 2D microtube under laminar, turbulent, slip and temperature jump boundary conditions. Decreasing the values of slip coefficient decreases the temperature jump and enhances the Nusselt number. A critical value for the Rayleigh number (105) and magnetic field strength (Ha 10) exists, at which the impacts of the solid volume fraction and slip coefficient effects are the most pronounced. The pressure drop shows a similar type of enhancement in magnitude, as observed in the case of the Nusselt number. However, application of nanofluids for low Reynolds numbers is more beneficial, and the effect of volume fractions are more pronounced in comparison to slip coefficient, though the effects are marginal.","PeriodicalId":49472,"journal":{"name":"Strojniski Vestnik-Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85653620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In multi-body dynamics, flexible bodies are frequently modeled as rigid, resulting in non-valid modeling of the pre-stress effect. In this research a focus on the pre-stress effect for a flexible body assembled in a rigid-flexible multibody system is presented. In a rigid-flexible assembly a flexible body is modeled with an absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) of finite elements. The geometrical properties of the flexible body are evaluated based on the frequency response and compared with the experimental values. An experiment including the pre-stress effect and large displacements is designed and the measured values of the displacement are compared to the numerical results in order to validate the dynamical model.
