In vibration-assisted drilling, the wear state of the drill bit affects the processing quality of the hole. The traditional method of identifying the wear state of the drill bit adopts the method of packet de-composition, ignoring the timing characteristics of the signal. In this paper, the force and acoustic emission signals in vibration-assisted drilling are used. The Gram angle field converts the one-dimensional time series into a two-dimensional image, while retaining the trajectory of the time se-ries in the high-dimensional space. Based on the Graham difference field (GADF) image of force and AE, the Inception improved convolutional neural network...

The paper describes the experimental validation of the biomechanical response of the Hybrid III 50th Percentile Male Pedestrian Dummy (JASTI, Tokyo, Japan) at low impact velocity (up to 2.2 m/s) in comparison with that of human probands. The paper is based on previous research that was focused on the tram-pedestrian crash tests using the same dummy. The biofidelity of the dummy was analyzed in two collision scenarios: the anteroposterior impact (chest impact) and lateral impact (shoulder impact) using a unique pendulum impact testing machine of own design and construction. The primary outcome variable was the peak resultant acceleration of the head...

The paper presents the possibilities of using the wavelet transform to filter the cutting force signal. Tests were carried out by dry turning on the Ti6Al4V alloy with variable cutting parameters. Four blades with different nose geometry and coatings were used. From the recorded waveforms, the mean values of the force component Fc and the load stability coefficient were calculated. The measured force waveforms were filtered with Daubechies 4 (db4) and Daubechies 6 (db6) wavelets. From the ratio of the load stabil-ity after filtration to the load stability before filtration, the noise and disturbance values generated during the turning of the tested...

The presented study focuses on the study of polylactide acid (PLA) material, which is a frequently used material in 3D printing. Surface modification using DCSBD plasma discharge is proposed as a way to improve the adhesion between individual layers of material. Adhesion is a critical factor for achieving high-quality print output, as low adhesion can cause individual deposited layers of material to separate and ripple during printing. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is used to determine the glass transition temperature (Tg) of a material. Tg is important because it determines how difficult the material is to print, the closer the Tg is to room temperature,...

SLS additive technology is an innovative method of metal components production, using a high material proportion. Currently, gearwheels are still one of the most used engineering parts, not only in the automotive, but also in other industries. For example, milling is used to reduce their weight, but the material can be distorted after this operation. The occurrence of cracks propagating in the transition region after induction hardening was the reason for conducting experiments with an alternative machining technology. The article deals with the identification of the influence of machining on residual stress change of a gearwheel made of sintered metal...

Manufacturing Technology 2023, 23(4):495-503 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2023.053
The quality properties of high pressure die casts are closely correlated with porosity. The formation of porosity is primarily initiated by entrapment of air and gases in the volume of the melt, during its transition through the gating system. This entrapment can occur as a result of an incorrect design of the gating system, incorrect setting of the casting technological parameters, or sometimes a combi-nation of both causes. The setting of the piston velocity in the first and second phase of the casting cycle has the highest proportion of the gas entrapment of all the technological parameters. The sub-mitted article is describing the influence of...

Chunling Wang
Manufacturing Technology 2023, 23(4):551-556 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2023.065
In the actual factory production, there are often cases of liquid flow accumulation, and most of the controllers used in the project are PLC. Usually, the flow meter is used to measure the instantaneous flow, and then the analog (4-20mA) signal is transmitted to the PLC, and the PLC accumulates the cumulative flow within a certain period of time according to the instantaneous flow transmitted by the flow meter. Due to the floating point type of PLC, the direct accumulation will not reach the accuracy standard, and the cumulative error will occur. In order to eliminate the cumulative error, this paper proposes an improved algorithm based on Kahan 's...

Manufacturing Technology 2023, 23(4):557-563 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2023.056
Traditional assembly sequence solving methods often face problems such as combinatorial explosion and low efficiency in solving complex products with multiple parts. To improve the level of assembly sequence planning (ASP), an interference matrix is established to express the basic assembly information of a product. Taking the stability of the assembly sequence, the number of assembly direction changes, and the number of assembly tool changes as evaluation indicators, a fitness function is constructed. An improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) approach for ASP is developed based on the peculiarities of the ASP issue. Redefining particle positions,...
