Undercutting using an actuated disc cutter (ADC) involves more complex cutting mechanism than traditional rock cutting does, requiring the application of various new cutting parameters, such as eccentricity, cutter inclination angle, and axis rotational speed. This study presents cutting-edge laboratory-scale testing equipment that allows performing ADC tests. ADC tests were carried out on a concrete block with a specified strength of 20 MPa, using a variety of cutting settings that included penetration depth (p), eccentricity (e), and linear velocity (v). ADC, unlike pick and disc cutting, has a non-linear cutting path with a dynamic cutting direction, requiring the development of a new method for predicting cutting force and specific energy. The influence of cutting parameters to the cutter forces were discussed. The ratio of eccentricity to the penetration depth (e/p) was proposed to evaluate the optimal cutting condition. Specific energy varies with e/p ratio, and exhibits optimum values in particular cases. In general, actuated undercutting may potentially give a more efficient cutting than conventional pick and disc cutting by demonstrating reasonably lower specific energy in a comparable cutting environment.

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of pretensioned concrete structures was investigated experimentally during detensioning for two different releasing methods: flame-cutting and hydraulic-jacking. According to the experimental results of strain changes, although detensioning time of hydraulic-jacking is shorter than that of fame-cutting, the prestressing force loss of fame-cutting is larger than that of hydraulic-jacking.

The performances of cutting process is mostly affected by the characteristics of closed loop system constructed with machine tool structure, work piece and tools. The chucking system is very important component in this system to hold work piece correctly in various static and dynamic load condition. Therefore, chucking force and accuracy must be considered carefully, from these reason, this paper describes the stability of chucking system which preserve high stiffness and accuracy of machine tool system.

A tool holder system has been designed and builted to measure cutting forces in diamond turning. This system design includes a 3-component piezo-electric tranducer. Initial experiments with tool holder system included verification of its predicted dynamic characteristics as well as a detailed study of cutting parameters. In this research, tool holder system is modeled by considering the element dividing, material properties, and boundary conditions using MSC/PATRAN. Mode and frequency analysis of structure is simulated by MSC/NASTRAN, for the purpose of developing the effective design. In addition, tool holder system is verified by vibration test using accelerometer. Many cutting experiments have been conducted on 6061-T6 aluminum. Tests have involved investigation of velocity effects, and the effects of depth and feedrate on tool force. Cutting velocity has been determined to have negligible effects between 4 and 21㎧.(6) Forces generally increase with increasing depth of cut. Increasing feedrate does not necessarily lead to higher forces. Results suggest that a sample model may not be sufficient to describe the forces produced in the diamond turning process.

The torque variation in drilling process represents the problems of the efficient and stable machining. In order to cope with them, the active control method is adopted to drill the workpiece under the constant cutting torque though the cutting stiffness of the workpiece or the diameter of the drill bit changes. The cutting process is modeled in the geometric viewpoint related with the feed and the number of cutting lips. And the dynamic model is approximated to the first order system for the purpose of control. The adaptive PI control is used in computer simulations and experiments. The results of the study show the validity of the drilling method with torque control.

The in-process detection of the state of cutting tool is one of the most important technical problem in Intelligent Machining System. This paper presents a method of detecting the state of cutting tool in turning process, by using Artificial Neural Network. In order to sense the state of cutting tool. the sensor fusion of an acoustic emission sensor and a force sensor is applied in this paper. It is shown that AErms and three directional dynamic mean cutting forces are sensitive to the tool wear. Therefore the six pattern features that is, the four sensory signal features and two cutting conditions are selected for the monitoring system with Artificial Neural Network. The proposed monitoring system shows a good recogniton rate for the different cutting conditions.

In the surface grinding operations, the grinding fluid cannot be supplied sufficiently in the cutting zone. Temperature generated in the cutting zone increases rapidly and causes thermal damage such as burning on the surface of a workpiece. To reduce thermal damage, the intermittent grinding wheels, which have an excellent cooling effect, have been applied. This paper describes machining characteristics by using intermittent grinding wheels. The grinding force of the intermittent wheels has been simulated by the SIMULAB, which is a program for simulating dynamic systems. Using the intermittent grinding wheels, the characteristics of grinding force, temperature, surface roughness, and geometric error have been evaluated experimently.

The spindle unit is core parts in high precision machine tools. Diverse static, dynamic and thermal charateristics of spindle unit are needed for special purpose of machine tools. Compromise between those charateristics will be done in concept design phase. High static stiffness at spindle nose may be very important performance for heavy cutting work. High dynamic stiffness is also useful to high precision and high speed machine tools. Improvement of thermal charateristics in spindle lead to high reliability of positioning accuracy. For high speed spindle structure, the design parameter such as, bearing span, diameter, bearing type and arrangement, preload, cooling and lubrication method should be in harmony.

A new cutting force estimating approach and machining state monitoring examples are presented which uses a cylindrical displacement sensor built into the spindle. To identify the tool-spindle system dynamics with frequency up to 2 kHz, a home-built electro-magnetic exciter is used. The result is used to build an algorithm to extract the dynamic cutting force signal from the spindle error motion; because the built-in spindle sensor signal contains both spindle-tool dynamics and tool-workpiece interactions. This sensor is very sensitive and can measure broadband signal without affecting the system dynamics. The main characteristic is that it is designed so that the measurement is irrelevant to the geometric errors by covering the entire circumferential area between the target and sensor. It is also very simple to be installed. Usually the spindle front cover part is copied and replaced with a new one with this sensor added. It gives valuable information about the operating condition of the spindle at any time. It can be used to monitor cutting force and chatter vibration, to predict roughness and to compensate the form error by overriding spindle speed or feed rate. This approach is particularly useful in monitoring a high speed machining process.
