The challenge of maintaining accuracy over long machining times is exacerbated by thermal effects that can contribute to significant geometric errors. To analyze these thermally induced geometric errors, also known as thermo-elastic errors, it is first necessary to measure them. Since the thermo-elastic state of the machine can change within a few minutes, the measurement method must have a short measurement time and the capability to measure a large number of geometric errors simultaneously. A potential promising method is the dynamic R-test, which can record the displacements of the sensor nest on the tool center point, synchronized with the actual positioning of the axes during a dynamic movement, and calculate the geometric errors using a kinematic model. The feasibility of the data acquisition method was previously demonstrated, but not the precise analysis and validation of its capability. Therefore, this study analyses the capability of the dynamic R-test to measure thermo-elastic errors in practice considering the influence of method, machine tool, human and environmental measurement uncertainties. For this purpose, numerous relevant measurement uncertainties are quantified, and a comprehensive measurement uncertainty analysis is performed using the Monte Carlo method. The results are then used to optimize the measurement method, striking a balance between time efficiency, measurement uncertainty and the number of measurable errors. They are validated by an experimental study in which thermo-elastic errors are artificially generated using the CNC geometric error compensation function on a demonstrator machine and then measured. This demonstrates the capability of the optimized dynamic R-test to measure thermo-elastic errors in practical settings, as well as a practical approach to the measurement uncertainty analysis and implementation of the dynamic R-test for five-axis machine tools.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56011,"journal":{"name":"CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology","volume":"61 ","pages":"Pages 88-102"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144255208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparative analysis of stress distributions among the zigzag, contour offset and grid path planning revealed that the grid path reduced peak stress and variance by 29.8 % and 9.6 %, respectively. The microstructure of the HCCI grate plate body consists of primary austenite and martensite. Martensitic transformation occurs at the interface between eutectic carbides and primary austenite, where lath martensite encapsulates the eutectic carbides. Both primary carbides and eutectic carbides exhibit a hexagonal close-packed structure with similar crystallographic characteristics. The M<sub>7</sub>C<sub>3</sub> carbides formed a robust wear-resistant framework, preventing abrasive particles from penetrating the matrix and reducing continuous sliding on the wear surface. Primary austenite provided critical structural support, preventing carbide detachment and significantly improving the material’s wear resistance. At 750 °C, the wear rate of the deposited metal was measured at 2.02 %, while at room temperature, it was 1.46 %. Both rates were significantly lower than the 3.71 % wear rate of the deposited metal on the currently used grate plates. The wear surface of HCCI exhibits numerous plow grooves, microcracks, and carbide spalling, which generate abrasive particles and accelerate wear.

It turned out that vibration velocity and displacement of the workpiece have non-ignorable effects on the direction of cutting velocity, engagement position between tool and workpiece, resulting in state-dependent inclination angle, instantaneous rotation angle and time delay. Consequently, a dynamic cutting force model that incorporates workpiece vibration-based modulation effects was developed, which effectively captured the change in the direction of cutting force along the tool axis. Furthermore, both simulation and experimental results demonstrated that workpiece vibration can reduce the amplitude of cutting force compared to rigid trimming. Additionally, surface comparisons of the workpieces after trimming were conducted, showing no obvious difference between short and long overhanging workpieces. This indicated that long overhanging thin-walled workpieces can be a feasible choice for trimming under certain conditions.

For each assembly segment, the FRFs of its substructural components, i.e., the tube and cylinder segments, are theoretically calculated using Timoshenko beam theory. A new receptance coupling principle is established at the two endpoints of each assembly tube and cylinder segment based on their deformation and compatibility conditions. The overall FRFs for each assembly segment are synthesized from the theoretically calculated values of its corresponding tube and cylinder segments. By employing classical receptance coupling substructure analysis (RCSA), the FRFs of the entire assembly are obtained by coupling the individual segment FRFs. Unlike traditional multi-point coupling methods, which generate intermediate matrices strongly dependent on the number of coupling points, the proposed method yields a fixed 4 × 4 intermediate matrix, fully independent of the coupling points. This feature simplifies the calculation procedure to a summation across all segments, eliminating the need for complex iterations required by conventional methods.

However, due to their inherently low stiffness—encompassing shear, bending, and torsional stiffness—these components are highly susceptible to deformation during machining. This deformation can adversely affect the geometric integrity and machining precision of the component, including dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, and positional accuracy. Controlling the deformation of thin-walled components has thus become a critical research focus in recent years. This paper reviews the latest developments in the types of machining deformation, deformation mechanisms, and deformation control strategies for thin-walled components, aiming to equip readers with dynamic approaches for achieving high efficiency and precision in thin-walled component machining. The first section provides an overview of the definition, classification, and factors affecting the machining accuracy of thin-walled components. The second section discusses the mechanisms behind the deformation of thin-walled components, which result from a combination of multiple factors, including deformation caused by cutting forces, cutting temperature, residual stress, fixturing, and machining chatter. The third section reviews several methods for controlling deformation, including adaptive machining and error compensation, stability lobe diagrams and chatter suppression, deformation prediction and control, and energy field-assisted machining. These methods allow for the control and prevention of thin-walled component deformation before, during, and after machining.

However, the current surface texturing methods for zirconia ceramic dentures, primarily laser ablation or grinding, often induce severe surface damage due to their high hardness. In this study, a coating-assisted rotary ultrasonic grinding (CUG) process is proposed to fabricate microgrooves on zirconia ceramic. This method aims to improve surface quality by leveraging the local embrittlement caused by the mechanochemical effects of the coating and ultrasonic vibration. A series of surface texturing, grinding, and nanoindentation tests are conducted to evaluate the process performance and underlying mechanism of the CUG. The results demonstrate that compared to conventional grinding (CG), CUG can reduce the surface roughness of the microgrooves by an average of 73.4 % and decrease the cutting force by an average of 72.7 %. The process mechanism of CUG can be attributed to the synergistic effects between the surface coating and ultrasonic grinding, both causing local embrittlement of zirconia ceramics, increasing small local cracks, and reducing larger macro defects. Additionally, the effects of microgrooves on surface performance, including wettability, tribological behavior, and bacteria adhesion, are assessed.

At the same time, process control is based on each layer’s overall measurements, discouraging companies from improving productivity by reducing inspection time.
