Modelling Workflow for Segmented Timber Shells using Wood-wood Connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Petras Vestartas

This paper presents a modelling method based on planarization for double-curved segmented timber shell made from quad polygons and assembled by wood-wood connections. The inspiration is taken from timber dome structures, where solid timber walls were built ...

STEP-NC digital thread for additive manufacturing: data model, implementation and validation

Ian Anthony Stroud, Pascal Mognol

Substantial progress and development in additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been realised during the last decade but have hardly been implemented on AM systems due to old numerical solutions still used by the AM digital thread, for instance STL ( ...

Optimisation of Current and Pulse Duration in Electric Discharge Drilling of D2 Steel Using Graphite Electrode

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is one of the viable techniques for machining of D2 steel, in which the material removal occurs by spark erosion. The poor selection of EDM parameters affect the machining quality and productivity. Considering this, the p ...

A 3D Cutting Method for Integral 1DOF Multiple-Tab-and-Slot Joints for Timber Plates, using 5-axis CNC Cutting Technology

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) uses features in the form of components for their connection. In addition to the transfer of forces, locator features are used as integral assembly guides. Prismatic, single-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) joints only allow fo ...

An empirical study on the characterization of machined surface integrity by chip morphology in dry end-milling of titanium alloy

Muhammad Arif

Titanium alloys manifest low thermal conductivity and high work hardenability in machining. These alloys are thus considered as difficult-to-machine at higher cutting speeds and pose serious problems in machining such as degraded machined surface and rapid ...

A model to determine the optimal parameters for sustainable-energy machining in a multi-pass turning operation

Ian Anthony Stroud, Olcay Akten, Muhammad Arif

This study presents a model for the optimization of machining parameters for the minimum energy consumption in a multi-pass turning operation. The model takes into account finishing and roughing passes separately for the energy optimization followed by the ...
