The paper presents the design of easy-to-use and sophisticated cutting tool insert clamping that is applied for turning tools. The simplified analytical calculation and von Mises stress fields obtained by Finite Element Method are provided. The technical solution of clamping screw is based on the specialized screw head that is of hexagonal-conical shape. The higher axial force in screw arising from the tightening, higher contact pressure clamping the cutting tool insert. The frictional force between screw head and the insert surfaces presses the cutting tool insert into its seating when tightening and helps to get out the insert when un-tightening. The design of clamping specialized screws gives the possibility to use them in integrated cutting tools with two or more cutting tool inserts.

Past few decades have been marked by significant achievements in the development of cutting tools and machining processes. End-milling operation with Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) cutting tool insert presents a good technical solution for machining difficult-to-cut materials. However, the cost of each technical or technological solution is a major concern in the decision making process. It is quite common for a solution developer to encounter a question like How much will this new method cost? before proceeding for implementation. PCD insert applied as a cutting tool is a recent development and evaluation of economic performance of this cutting tool insert in end-milling of a-difficult-to-cut material such as Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy can be of significant importance to the manufacturer. However, cost economy depends significantly on the correct choice of cutting conditions especially in the context of cutting parameters. To determine the economically desired levels of the cutting parameters for PCD insert to end-mill Titanium alloy we have presented a RSM-based mathematical model which would help to estimate the cost of removing unit volume of material and to find out the optimum cutting conditions leading to minimum machining cost.

Calibration curves of a multi-component dynamometer is of essence in machining operations in a lathe machine as they serve to provide values of force and stress components for cutting tool development and optimization. In this study, finite element analysis has been used to obtain the deflection and stress response of a two component cutting tool lathe dynamometer, for turning operation, when the cutting tool is subjected to cutting and thrust forces from 98.1N to 686.7N (10 to 70kg-wts), at intervals of 98.1N(10kg-wt). By obtaining the governing equation, modeling the dynamometer assembly, defining boundary conditions, generating the assembly mesh, and simulating in Inventor Professional; horizontal and vertical components of deflection by the dynamometer were read off for three different loading scenarios. For these three loading scenarios, calibration plots by experiment compared with plots obtained from simulation by finite element analysis gave accuracies of 79%, 95%, 84% and 36%, 57%, 63% for vertical and horizontal deflections respectively. Also, plots of horizontal and vertical components of Von Mises stress against applied forces were obtained.

Abstract Due to the limit of mesh density, the improvement of the spatial resolution of numerical computation always leads to a decrease in computing efficiency. Aiming at this inability of numerical computation, we propose a novel method for boosting the mesh density in finite element method (FEM) within 2D domain. Based on the von Mises stress fields of 2D plane-strain problems computed by the FEM, this method utilizes a deep neural network named SuperMeshingNet to learn a non-linear mapping from low mesh-density to high mesh-density in stress fields, and realizes the improvement of numerical computation accuracy and efficiency simultaneously. We adopt residual dense blocks into our mesh-density boost model – SuperMeshingNet to extract abundant local features and enhance the prediction capacity. The results indicate that SuperMeshingNet is able to effectively increase the spatial resolution of the von Mises stress fields under the multiple scaling factors: 2X,4X,and8X. Compared with the targets, the relative error of SuperMeshingNet is 2.44%, which shows better performance than the interpolation methods. Besides, SuperMeshingNet reveals an astonishing strength in predicting the maximum stress value. We publicly share our work with full detail of implementation at https://github.com/zhenguonie/2021_SuperMeshing_2D_Plane_Strain.

The presence of contacting asperities in lubricated rolling bearings modifies the subsurface stress field strongly in the neighborhood of the surface and, to a lesser extent, at larger depths where the maxima of the shear or von Mises stress of a smooth Hertzian contact normally exist. The near surface stresses are of importance because they may result in micropitting, a mode of surface distress which leads to the eventual fatigue failure of the contacting surfaces. A mathematical method is presented in this paper which allows the statistical calculation of important parameters (maximum von Mises stress or maximum shear stress amplitude) of the stress fields generated under elastically deforming asperities during their passage through a lubricated contact. The asperities themselves are modelled using estimates of the surface spectral moments obtained from single-profile trace measurements. The method is applicable to both isotropic and anisotropic rough surfaces. Moreover, the important effect of the shear surface tractions, including tractions over the asperities, is contained in the analysis. Computed examples are presented for different surface textures and film thicknesses in the case of a deep groove ball bearing. Finally, a qualitative attempt is made to correlate features of these stress fields with the presence of surface pitting, and the limitations of the analysis are discussed.

In orthodontic treatment, anchorage is the most important element that affects the treatment’s success. To improve the load bearing capacity of the anchorage there are several devices developed in recent decades such as midpalatal implants and onplants but they also have limitation on directions of applied load and their support position adjustability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of a new anchorage device by analyzing the load-bearing and stress distribution among the cortical and cancellous bones of the mandible as well as the anchorage system components using nonlinear 3D Finite Element (FE) method. The new device is composed of an adjustable stainless steel plate equipped with bracket and mounted with two titanium mini-screws into the mandible. The response of this new system was compared to an isolated mini-screw system under different loading scenarios. A maximum of 500gr force was applied in different directions on the bracket and the isolated mini-screw head to simulate the orthodontic loading. Using the new anchorage device reduced von-Mises stress in the whole structure approximately by 50% comparing to the isolated mini-screw. In the cortical bone and depending on the direction of the applied force, von-Mises stress decreased from 6 to 3MPa under vertical shear force and from 6 to 1.5MPa under horizontal and inclined shear forces. In the cancellous bone the stress decreased similarly as in the cortical bone from 0.6 to ≈0.3MPa under horizontal and inclined shear. Under vertical shear force the decrease was less significant from 0.57MPa to 0.5MPa. This new device while offering wide fields of orthodontic forces applications thanks to its bracket provides the same resistive force (500gr) as the isolated mini-screw with much lower stresses in the bone and anchorage implant as well. The next step is to investigate the efficiency of this new device in the teeth movement.

Fatigue failures of motor crankshafts operating in thermoelectric power plants have recently been reported. Stress fields provided by finite element calculations at critical points of a crankshaft that failed in service are used to test the structural integrity of the component. Taking into account the fact that the stresses acting at a given point are most likely out of phase, multiaxial fatigue criteria based on the von Mises stress are considered to be most suitable for predicting the fatigue behavior of the crankshaft. Using the von Mises stress, it was also possible to apply octahedral shear stress-based criteria and the results obtained have indicated that the crankshaft made of DIN 34CrNiMo6 steel should not suffer fatigue failure under the action of the stress fields in question. However, such failures have been occurring and this apparent discrepancy is presented and briefly discussed in the present study.
