Optimization of the turning process has been concentrated on the selection of the optimal cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. However, optimization of the cutting parameters does not necessarily guarantee the maximum profit. For the maximization of the profit, parameters other than cutting parameters have to be taken care of. In this study, 8 price-related parameters were considered to maximize the profit of the product. Regression equations obtained from RSM technique to relate the cutting parameters and maximum cutting volume with a given insert were used. The experiments with four combinations of cutting inserts and material were executed to compare the results that made the profit and cutting volume maximized. The results showed that the cutting parameters for volume and profit maximization were totally different. Contrary to our intuition, global optimization was achieved when the number of inserts change was larger than those for volume maximization. It is attributed to the faster cutting velocity, which decreases processing time and increasing the number of tool used and the total tool changing time.

The development of flexible automation in the manufacturing industry is concerned with production activities performed by unmanned machining system A major topic relevant to metal-cutting operations is monitoring toll wear, which affects process efficiency and product quality, and implementing automatic toll replacements. In this paper, the measurement of the cutting force components has been found to provide a method for an in-process detection of tool wear. The static com-ponents of cutting force have been used to detect flank wear. To eliminate the influence of variations in cutting conditions, tools, and workpiece materials, the force modeling is performed for various cutting conditions. The normalized force dis-parities are defined in this paper, and the relationships between normalized disparity and flank were are established. Final-ly, artificial neural network is used to learn these relationships and detect tool wear. According to proposed method, the static force components could provide the effective means to detect flank wear for varying cutting conditions in turning operation.

A coastwise chemical tanker sailing at full speed has capsized in calm water and while turing. We investigate reasons of the accident and demonstrate that a proper correction for the free surface effect of the liquid cargo has not been practiced in the initial design stage and that the bow-sinkage induced in sailing has weakened the form stability of the ship. It is also shown that the liquid cargo shift occurring in turning generated a significant outward heel moment.

Snap rolling during hard turning and instability during emergency rising are important features of submarine operation. Hydrodynamics modeling using a high incidence flow angle is required to predict these phenomena. In the present study, a quasi-steady dynamics model of a submarine suitable for high-incidence-angle maneuvering applications is developed. To determine the hydrodynamic coefficients of the model, static tests, dynamic tests, and control surface tests were conducted in a towing tank and wind tunnel. The towing tank test is conducted utilizing a Reynolds number of $3.12{\times}10^6$, and the wind tunnel test is performed utilizing a Reynolds number of $5.11{\times}10^6$. In addition, least squares, golden section search, and surface fitting using polynomial models were used to analyze the experimental results. The obtained coefficients are presented in tabular form and can be used for various purposes such as hard turning simulation, emergency rising simulation, and controller design.

This paper has focused on the Optimization of the cutting parameters for urning operation based on the Taguchi method. Four cutting parameters. nemely, cutting speed, feed depth of cut and nose radius are optimized with consideration of the surface roughness. The design and analysis of experiments are conducted to study the performance characteristic. The effects of these parameters on the surface roughness have been investigated using signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio and analy-sis of variance(ANOVA). The experiments have been performed using coated tungsten carbide inserts without any cutting fluid. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.

Given binary operations "*" and "$\circ$" on a set X, define a product binary operation "$\Box$" as follows: $x{\Box}y\;:=\;(x\;{\ast}\;y)\;{\circ}\;(y\;{\ast}\;x)$. This in turn yields a binary operation on Bin(X), the set of groupoids defined on X turning it into a semigroup (Bin(X), $\Box$)with identity (x * y = x) the left zero semigroup and an analog of negative one in the right zero semigroup (x * y = y). The composition $\Box$ is a generalization of the composition of functions, modelled here as leftoids (x * y = f(x)), permitting one to study the dynamics of binary systems as well as a variety of other perspectives also of interest.

This paper presents the experimental results to verify the atomization characteristics and environmental impact of cutting fluid. Even though cutting fluid improves the productivity through the cooling and lubricating effects, environmental impact due to cutting fluid usage is also increased on factory shop floor. Cutting fluid's aerosol via atomization process can generate human health risk such as lung cancer and skin diseases. Experimental results show that the generated fine aerosol of which particle size less than 10 micron appears near working zone under typical operation conditions. The aerosol concentration also exceeds NIOSH regulations. This research can be provided as a basis of environmental impact analysis for environmental consciousness.

For the purpose to facilitate development of high-speed spindle units (SUs) running on rolling bearings, we have developed a beam element model, algorithms, and software for computer analysis of thermal characteristics of SUs. The thermal model incorporates a model of heat generation in rolling bearings, a model of heat transfer from bearings, and models for estimation of temperature and temperature deformations of SU elements. We have carried out experimental test and made quantitative evaluation of the effect of operation conditions on friction and thermal characteristics of the SUs of grinding and turning machines of typical structures. It is found out that the operation conditions make stronger effect on SU temperatures when rpm increases. A comparison between the results of analysis and experiment proves their good mutual correspondence and allows us to recommend application of the models and software developed for design and research of high-speed SUs running on rolling bearings.
