The machinability of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy and tool wear behavior when machining Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was studied to understand the machining characteristics. this material is one of the strong candidate materials present and future aerospace or medical applications. Nowadays their usage has already been broaden to everyday's commercial applications such as golf club heads, finger rings and many decorative items. Anticipating the general use of this material and development of the titanium alloys in domestic facilities, the review and the study of the machining parameters for those alloys are deemed necessary. this study is concentrated to the machining parameters of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy due to their dominant position in the production of titanium alloys.

An efficient measurement and evaluation system for hand tool tasks will provide a practical solution to the problem of designing and evaluating manual tool tasks in the workplace. Few studies on the biomechanical analysis of hand postures and tool handling tasks exist because of the lack of appropriate measurement techniques for hand force. A measurement system for the finger forces and joint angles for analysis of manual tool handling tasks was developed in this study. The measurement system consists of a force sensing glove made from twelve Force Sensitive Resistors and an angle-measuring glove (Cyberglove$\^$TM/, Virtual technologies) with eighteen joint angle sensors. A biomechanical model of the hand using the data from the measurement system was also developed. Systems of computerized procedures were implemented integrating the hand posture measurement system, biomechanical analysis system, and the task analysis system for manual tool handling tasks. The measurement system was useful in providing the hand force data needed for an existing task analysis system used in CTD risk evaluation. It is expected that the hand posture measurement developed in this study will provide an, efficient and cost-effective solution to task analysis of manual tool handling tasks. These tasks are becoming increasingly important areas of occupational health and safety of the country.

LCC can be defined as "the sum of present values of investment costs, capital costs, installation costs, energy costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, and disposal costs over the life-time of the project, product, or measure." LCCA involves estimating the costs and timing associated with each alternative over a selected analysis period and conversion of those costs to economically comparable values considering the time-value of money. The several Excel-Based LCC tools found on the internet are described in this paper. Also, This paper performed an analysis of the existing LCC commercial tools, assessing various aspects of each program. The goal was to evaluate the best features of each tool and to identify the requirements for LCC evaluation of Urban Transit Vehicle. The LCC tools are developed to address problems in many different areas and a tool developed and structured for one area cannot generally be used in another area. No general LCC tool exists and if one is needed for Urban Transit Vehicle it has to be developed by the project. Since a full LCC can be very complex it is likely that this Excel-Based LCC tool should be a small and simple tool for quick cost estimates. This paper presents a LCC tool consisting of eight excel sheets, which are "Project", "CBS", "PBS", "PM", "CM", "Others", "LCC Result" and "Diagram".

In this paper we describe DCClass, a tool for fuzzy information granulation with transparency constraints. The tool is particularly suited to solve fuzzy classification problems, since it is able to automatically extract information granules with class labels. For transparency pursuits, the resulting information granules are represented in form of fuzzy Cartesian product of one-dimensional fuzzy sets. As a key feature, the proposed tool is capable to self-determining the optimal granularity level of each one-dimensional fuzzy set by exploiting class information. The resulting fun information granules can be directly translated in human-comprehensible fuzzy rules to be used for class inference. The paper reports preliminary experimental results on a medical diagnosis problem that shows the utility of the proposed tool.

Tool costs can comprise a significant part of the total operating costs of Flexible Manufacturing Systems. We address the problem of determining the optimal processing times of individual operations and routing mix in FMSs with multiple routes for each part type in order to minimize tool cost, subject to meeting a throughput constraint for each part type. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear program superimposed on a closed queueing network of the FMSs under consideration. Numerical examples reveal the potential of our approach for significant saving in tool costs.

Micro spherical lens mold processing method based on mechanical one completes a spherical shape by setting a diamond tool of hundreds $\mu$m radius on spins with high speed and then using Z-axis vertical feeding motion like the fabrication of micro drilling. In this method, we can see unprocessed parts shaped like cylinder and cone and check increasing chatter marks and burrs by setting errors of the central axis of rotation on the edge of the tool. That is why this method doesn't suit for the optical lens mold. In this paper presents unprocessed parts are disappeared and chatter marks and burrs are decreased from centre of the lens after using Run-out measuring and setting system on run-out occurred from setting tool. Also the fabrication characteristics of 6：4 Brass, A1601, PMMA are compared and analyzed, establishing the optimum machining condition on each material.

Electrochemical micromachining which is not normally considered as a precision process is presented in this paper. The application of voltage Pulses between a tool electrode and a workpiece in an electrochemical environment allows the three-dimensional machining of conducting materials with micrometer precision. In this paper tool-electrodes($5\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, 1mm in length) are developed by electrochemical micromaching and micro holes are manufactured using this tool-electrodes we developed already. Micro holes are achieved the accuracy below $50\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter using ultrashort voltage pulses(0.1-5$\mu\textrm{s}$).

The use of error compensation techniques has been recognized as an effective way in the improvement of the accuracy of a machine tool. The laser measurement method for identifying position errors of machine tool has the disadvantages such as high cost, long calibration time and usage of volumetric error synthesis model. Accordingly, this paper deals with analysis of the position errors of a machine tool using ball bar test without using complicated error synthesis model. Statistical analysis method was adopted in this paper for deriving position errors using hemispherical helix ball bar test.

This paper presents a prediction of tool deflection and resulting machining error fur sculptured surface productions in the ball-end milling process. Due to the different materials and the dimensions of the tool holder and cutter, a cantilever hem model with three uniform sections is proposed fur the tool deflection model. The ability of this model has been verified by a machining experiment. In this study, cutting force and machining error are investigated. This paper provides the prediction of machining error for sculptured surface to improve machining quality for industrial application.

By using AIP(Arc Ion Plating) of a physical vapor deposition for the first time in Korea a ceramic tool whose surface is coated single layeredly with TiN is developed. In addition, cutting resistance appearing in the process of finishing cut of hardened carbon tool steel, STC3 is studied. The principal and radial components of cutting resistance in those cutting conditions appear to be the same or similar, and the feed component is relatively small. The feed component is found to be in proportion to cutting width, and the radial component in proportion to cutting thickness. Owing to coating the cutting resistance of a TiN coated ceramic tool increases compared with that of a general ceramic tool.
