Uncertainty and change are two features of modern project management. They strongly influence the project management needs to operate in such contexts. This is the case when a complete and accurate definition of the scope ...

This study generated novel behavioural data for three engineering steels undergoing a turning process. The materialswere hardened 410, PH13-8Mo and 300M, two stainless steels and one high strength steel respectively. A ...

Broaching is a unique machining process with high accuracy and surface quality, which is employed in massand batch production for the manufacture of components with highly complex geometries. It involves the use of ...

Accurate and fast prediction of cutting forces is important in high-performance cutting in the aerospace industry. Gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) is a material of choice for aerospace and automotive applications due to ...

Ferrite-Pearlite (FP) steels are used in many automotive components. However, their machinability in low cutting speed processes appears to be highly dependent on their metallurgical state. An experimental approach combining ...

In the absence of user experience evaluation tools for industrial human–machine interfaces (HMI), a specific tool called eXperience Capturer (XC) has been created. It is a multi-method user-centred tool that evaluates the ...

The cutting forces generated in machining are responsible for the tool deflection, part distortion, and features as chatter; therefore, their accurate estimation is fundamental to defining stable and safe working conditions ...

Finite Element Modelling used to predict machining outcomes needs to be supplied with the appropriate material thermomechanical properties which are obtained by specific testing devices and methodologies. However, these ...
