Chatter is an unwanted self-excited vibration that is a major source of poor surface finish and reduces tool life. The framework integrates a structured preprocessing pipeline (Butterworth filtering, clipping, smoothing, and min–max scaling), Local Mean Decomposition (LMD) for signal decomposition, multi-algorithm feature ranking (Chi-square, ReliefF, ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, and probabilistic Naive Bayes classification; a combination not previously reported for CNC turning chatter detection. The study analytically discusses these methods, which entail signal preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, and classification. Experiments were conducted on a CNC lathe where a microphone-based acquisition system was used to collect chatter signals. Preprocessing of the recorded vibration signals was performed in a series of filters, clipping, smoothing, and scaling to reduce environment noise (transient perturbation) effects. Local Mean Decomposition (LMD) technique was used to break down the preprocessed signals into a set of Product Functions (PFs). Based on the chatter signal (reconstructed) which is made up of the most dominant PFs, several statistical features were obtained. As it was observed that some of the extracted features were redundant, the dimensionality reduction was conducted with the help of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and the ranking of features was carried out with the help of Chi-square (Chi<sup>2</sup>), Relief, ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis algorithms. The most notable characteristic was identified as the Absolute Mean Amplitude (AMA) and was used to classify the Chatter Indicator (CI). In the case of chatter classification, Gaussian Naive Bayes and Kernel Naive Bayes models were carried out and tested. Lastly, further experimental studies were carried out to ascertain the strength and forecasting of the suggested methodology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":592,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s40712-026-00472-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148614506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structural characterization by SEM, FTIR, XPS and DSC confirmed successful integration of Fe-BTC into the PVDF matrix while preserving the electroactive β-phase.

A key aspect of this study is the systematic evaluation of substrate-dependent morphology and spectroscopic response, which has received limited attention for LAL-synthesized layered chalcogenides. The as-prepared colloid was drop-cast onto three substrates—carbon (C), quartz/glass, and crystalline silicon (Si)—to evaluate substrate-dependent morphology and spectroscopic visibility under identical preparation conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed granular nanoparticle layers with substrate-dependent aggregation and lateral size distributions in the approximately 60–220 nm range; the mean particle/aggregate sizes extracted from SEM statistics were ~ 129 nm (C), ~ 87 nm (quartz/glass), and ~ 107 nm (Si). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and elemental mapping confirmed the presence and spatial co-distribution of In and Se on all substrates, while C, Si, and O signals were attributed to substrate/background contributions and partial surface oxidation typical for thin dried nanoparticle films.

In this study, we investigated the effect of Ti addition on the microstructure, mechanical, and magnetic properties of the alloys, as well as their Mössbauer spectroscopic behavior, which is reported here for the first time to the best of our knowledge. Hardness, elastic modulus, and ultimate compressive strength initially increased with the addition of 0.2 at% Ti to the base Ni–Fe–Ga alloy, and then decreased with 0.8 at% Ti addition. However, ductility improved by approximately 50% at this Ti content. Magnetization measurements under an external magnetic field revealed successive hysteresis loops with increasing Ti content. A very low coercivity value of 3.87 Oe was obtained for the base alloy, which further decreased with increasing Ti content. Mössbauer spectra of all alloys exhibited a sextet and two doublet components. The sextet, with a hyperfine magnetic field of approximately 33 T, was attributed to magnetically ordered Fe environments originating from different crystallographic or chemically distinct local surroundings. The paramagnetic contribution corresponding to the observed doublets was considered to arise from Fe atoms occupying Ga sites. Overall, the results demonstrate that Ti addition plays a crucial role in tailoring the structural, mechanical, and magnetic responses of Ni–Fe–Ga alloys, and provide new insight into their local atomic and magnetic environments through Mössbauer spectroscopy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":592,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s40712-026-00483-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
