DUCTILE MACHINING OF CRYSTALLINE MATERIALS WITH VARIABLE RAKE SINGLE POINT DIAMOND MACHINING
Title
DUCTILE MACHINING OF CRYSTALLINE MATERIALS WITH VARIABLE RAKE SINGLE POINT DIAMOND MACHINING
Author
Griffin, Adam
Date Created
2019
Subjects--Topical
Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description
The effect of a variable rake machining process such as Fast Tool Servo (FTS) on optical IR crystalline materials isn’t well understood and can be difficult to test. This thesis proposes and develops the concept of using a 'starburst' cut geometry...

Subjects--Topical
Mechanical engineering, Automobiles--Design and construction
Description
Previous experience in race situations has shown that components in the shifter section of the stock car drivetrain are subject to failure. As the engine operates in a specific rotational speed band throughout a race event due to gearing rules, th...

Subjects--Topical
Mechanical engineering, Optics, Engineering
Description
Freeform optics offer significant advantages over the conventional aspheric optics, but pose new challenges in metrology and manufacturing. The spatial frequencies of an optical surface that must be measured have changed due to the progression of ...

Subjects--Topical
Mechanical engineering, Aerospace engineering
Description
Productivity when milling thin, monolithic components is often limited by regenerative chatter. The vibrations are partially controlled by the use of stability lobe diagrams, which enable the selection of spindle speed/axial depth combinations to ...

Mechanical engineering
Description
This research examines the feasibility of machining components with precise tolerances using machines smaller than the completed part. This can conceptually be achieved in two ways. 1.) move a part around a machine, machining a portion of the part...
