In this study, the effect of the shape of the specimen and the feedrate of the dental ultrasonic surgical instrument on the cutting force and surface roughness of the specimen is analyzed. Experimental specimens were made of SAWBONES artificial bone materials in square and spherical specimens. In addition, the cutting feedrate of the surgical instrument was controlled through the developed moving system. The cutting force generated when cutting the specimen was measured through a force sensor. After the experiment, the cutting surface of the specimen was observed through a three-dimensional optical microscope and the surface roughness was measured. Through one-way ANOVA, the effect of each specimen shape and feed rate on surface roughness was analyzed. As a result of the experiment, the cutting force increased proportionally in the initial feed rate increase stage, but the increase in cutting force decreased as the feed rate continued to increase. Also, the cutting force showed a difference according to the shape of the specimen. The spherical specimen with a relatively small cutting surface area had less cutting force than the square specimen. However, as a result of one-way ANOVA, it was found that the specimen shape and feed rate did not affect the surface roughness. In future studies, it is expected to be used for comparative analysis of ultrasonic surgical instruments and correlation analysis between cutting factors.

Recently CFRP laminate joints process by bolts and nets are developed rapidly in aircraft industries. However, there are serious drawback during jointing process. Many hole processes are needed for the manufacturing and structural applications using composite materials. Generally, very durable polycrystalline crystalline diamond (PCD) drill has been used for the CFRP hole process. However, due to the expensive price and slow process speed, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond drill has been used increasingly which are relatively-low durability but easily-adjustable process speed via drill shape change and price is much lower. In this study, the comparison of hole process between PCD and CVD diamond coated drills was done. First of all, CFRP hole processbility was evaluated using the equations of hole processing conditions (feed amount per blade, feed speed). The comparison on thermal damage occurring from the CFRP specimen was also studied during drilling process. Empirical equation was made from the temperature photo profile being taken during hole process by infrared thermal camera. In addition, hole processability was compared by checking hole inside condition upon chip exhausting state for two drills. Generally, although the PCD can exhibit better hole processability, hole processing speed of CVD diamond drill exhibited faster than PCD case.

The mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) in vehicles is being replaced by the electromagnetic LSD because of its fast response and better active control characteristics. The coil housing made of STS 304 is one of the most important parts in the solenoid assembly of the electromagnetic LSD. High geometrical accuracy is a prerequisite for the manufacture of such coil housings, but precision machining is difficult because of the use of STS 304 thin plate and the variance in machining variables. The aim of this study is to optimize the mean and variance of the shape accuracy in the coil housing by finding a robust solution for the machining process conditions. The mean and standard deviation of the jaw contact pressure, cutting speed, and feed rate are considered to be the major parameters for minimizing the geometrical mean and variance. The response surface model based on the second-order Taylor series is combined together to minimize the mean and variance of the shape accuracy of the coil housing.
