Subjects--Topical
Mechanical engineering, Engineering
Description
This research pioneers formal combined plant and controller optimization (termed ``co-design") schemes for complex systems where accurate but expensive experiments are fused with cheap but less accurate numerical simulations. This fusion of experi...

Description
During single-point metal turning processes, a long, razor-sharp chip nest is often formed that can be a hazard to both operators and the part being machined. To combat this, a process called Modulated Tool Path (MTP) machining was developed by Ba...
