The carbon fiber reinforced plastics are highly promising materials which widely used in aerospace industry due to their
excellent mechanical properties. The delamination is considered a major problem in manufacture the parts and assembly.
The thrust force affected the delamination mostly. This paper investigated the drilling force, torque, delamination of
carbon fibred composite with carbide drilling tools and half core drilling tool. The experiments were carried out under air
cooling cutting conditions and the drilling force and the damage around the hole using carbide tool and half core tool

Chong Peng,

Show abstract
According to the kinematics of the cutting tool, two different machining operations occur in helical milling operation.
One is the plunge milling machined by its front cutting edges resulting from the axial feed of the cutting tool, the other is
the peripheral milling machined by its side cutting edges resulting from the tangential feed of the cutting tool. On the
basis, both the peripheral and the front cutting depths at each engagement point are derived as a function of cutting
parameters using a cylindrical end mill. By dividing the cutting edges into a stack of disks and applying the linear-edge
cutting force model to each disk, through coordinate transformation, numerical integration along the cutting edges and
summation for the differential cutting forces of all the teeth, the overall instantaneous cutting forces acting on the whole
cutting tool in the three orthogonal directions are obtained Based on the cutting force algorithm, the impact of cutting
conditions such as the tangential and axial feedrates on the tangential, normal and axial cutting forces is investigated.
Meanwhile, a set of cutting trials were conducted to validate the cutting force model. It is shown that the proposed model
can well predicate the cutting forces in helical milling. Therefore, the proposed approach is proven to be a feasible and
practical approach to determine cutting conditions in helical milling for shop floor applications.
Study on the wear mechanism and tool life of coated gun drill
Show abstract
A comprehensive investigation of the wear progress for solid carbide gun drill coated with TiAlN by machining steel
S48CSiV at a cutting speed of 12.66m/s has been performed. Cutting torque was recorded and tool wear mechanism was
studied. The surface morphology of the tool and the chip have been studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Results show that cutting torque fluctuates between 3% and 5% when
machining less than 130 pieces of crankshaft, but it will sharply increased to nearly 18% while machining 150 pieces of
crankshaft because the coating is damaged and the wear becoming severity. The dominant wear mechanisms are adhesive
wear and chemical dissolution wear.

Show abstract
In order to mill efficiently and stably using small size tool on computer numerical control machine(CNC machine), the
paper establishes dual-objective function on the basis of the minimum tool wear and the largest cutting efficiency.
Meanwhile, the influence of diameter and length of tool suspended on stability is considered under the guidance of
chatter stability analysis relationship. Research results show that, Pareto solution set which has two factors into account
conflicting can be obtained by Genetic Algorithms, combined Pareto solution set with the frequency response function
(FRF) chatter stability diagram, Pareto solutions of the smaller range of options, the milling parameters which meet the
requirements of efficient and stable milling of CNC machine tools can be optimized conveniently and accurately. When
the tool suspended length increases, the system stiffness decreases and the chatter stability domain graphic drops down,
Stability region narrows.

Yingfei Ge,
Jiuhua Xu,
Yucan Fu
Show abstract
Surface finish, surface generation and the influence factors were investigated when high speed milling SiCp/2009Al
composites using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools. The results showed that the surface roughness Ra0.207-0.542μm
and Rz2.02-5.20μm can be attained when tool flank wear VB is less than 0.09mm under the present cutting conditions.
With the increasing wear of the cutting tools, the value of the machined surface roughness significantly increased. The
machined surfaces included many defects of pits, voids, microcracks, grooves, protuberances, matrix tearing and
smearing and so on. The depth of deformation layers were confined to 20-35μm. Among the factors which affected Ra,
reinforcement volume fraction was the most significant factor and followed by cutting speed and feed rate. For the side
face, the significance order of the factors which affected Rz can be ranged as reinforcement volume fraction, cutting
speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut. Material swelling and side flow, tool-workpiece relative vibration, feed rate and
tool nose radius, removal mode of SiC particles were the main mechanisms of surface generation.

Yue Zhang
Show abstract
It has been one of the difficulties that high-precision hole on hardened materials is machined. The supersonic vibration
boring acoustic system in the lathe in which supersonic wave energy is applied on tool is introduced to create pulse
power on the cutting process. The separation vibration cutting is achieved by the pulse force. The comparative tests on
boring accuracy and surface quality are carried. The quality of surface machined by this method is compared to that by
grinding. This cutting is the green cutting. The boring process system is stability. Under the condition that the cutting
speed is less than or equal to 1/3 the tool vibration speed, the cutting force is pulse force and the Cutting energy is of

second. Traditional cutting of irregular movement elastic compression are eliminated. The cutting force is
greatly reduced. The cutting temperature is at room temperature. The tool life is greatly increased. Shape precision and
surface quality is greatly improved. The regulations of the ultrasonic vibration boring dry cutting of hardened material
are also summarized. The test results show that the ultrasonic vibration cutting tool boring is of very superior cutting
mechanism and is a high-precision deep-hole machining of hardened materials, efficient cutting methods.

Yujie Shen,
Wei Song,
et al.
Show abstract
Although index tools are increasingly used in wide range, brazed carbide tools are extensively applied in all kinds of high
speed metal machining for their simple and compact structures, high rigidity and flexibility. So it is important to investigate
the tool damage of brazed carbide tools. In the research, to avoid residual stress and micro cracks, the insert trough is
specially designed and the parameters of braze-welding and heat treatment are optimized. After being brazed and
sharpened, the tools were checked to assure no obvious defects in brazed tools. Then 50 pieces flawless turning tools of
45°, 90° and parting-off, respectively, were selected and used in high speed turning experiments. After turning experiments,
there were seven damage types of fracture tools and the main fracture modes were notch, chipping, tip collapse and tip-off
for all kinds of tools. Notch damage accounts for about 30% of 45° and 90° fracture tools. Micro tipping and extend-tipping
are main fracture modes and in relatively high proportion to the total amount of 45° and 90° straight tools. Tip-off is the
main breakage form of cut-off tool and accounting for about 58% of total fracture tools. How the residual stress, micro
crack, cutting parameters and material defect, et al, cause tool fracture damage is detailedly analyzed.
Surface-surface interference detection for five-axis machine tool path planning based on triangle subdivision
Show abstract
Interference detection between surfaces of the part and the cutting tool is important in 5-axis tool path planning process.
The purpose is to ensure the tool in an interference-free posture. There are many ways to detect interference; in this
article, the subdivision method is applied. In this research, a simple but high efficiency algorithm based on triangle
subdivision has been developed to deal with the two spatial triangles interference detection problems. In the proposed
algorithm, only the three vertex coordinates of the two spatial triangles are given. The equation of the plane on which the
triangle set lies is then generated, respectively. The intersection line equation can be obtained by combining the two
equations. Because of the computer truncation error, errors must have been brought into the obtained line equation. A
special method, which is not sensible with the errors of the line equations, is developed to determine whether the
intersection line intersects with either of the two triangles. If both are yes, then the intersection points are calculated to
further determine whether the two triangles interference by setting a faraway point on the intersection line. The algorithm
is efficiency as it concerns only with the solution of two plane equations; and once the none-interference condition
satisfies, the algorithm could break from any step.

of the cladding and the surface integrity of machining can be studied.

Jicai Kuai,
Huali Zhang,
Feihu Zhang
Show abstract
Combined with the grinding principle, it is put forward that friction coefficient changes with the change of grinding
parameter; and the grinding force model of single abrasive grain is developed based on friction coefficients of different
grinding conditions. Following the theory of variable friction coefficient, the grinding force model of single abrasive
grain is theoretically and experimentally researched. The research indicates that this model fully reflects the effects of
grinding parameter, abrasive grains' distribution, material properties, variable friction coefficient, and etc. on grinding
force of single abrasive grain, which ensure an accurately simulation of actual grinding situation. By using this model, it
is predicted that grinding force of single abrasive grain in normal direction has an accuracy of about 18~36.84%;
however when taking the variable friction coefficient into consideration, prediction of tangential grinding force of single
abrasive grain has an accuracy of about 10~20% by using this model. Experiment proves that this study offered a new
grinding force model of single abrasive grain with variable friction coefficient, which has a practical value.

runs the fastest among all single-chips. The corresponding program can make the pulse power supply produce the
additional pulse current. At the same time, the special pulse power supply can communicate different machining
parameters with industrial personal computer by serial port of PIC single-chip according to the coating requires, and then
PIC single-chip convey machining parameters to Scenix single-chip by the communication interface. Through process
experiment, the special pulse power supply for electrical discharge coating behaves well, and the compacted coating
layer without cracks deposited on the surface of die by EDM can be obtained, which can prolong the life of die.

Haolin Li,
Xingjuan Ying
Show abstract
Surface roughness is a widely used index of product quality and in most cases a technical requirement
for mechanical products. Achieving the desired surface quality is of importance for the functional
behavior of a part. This paper is aimed at providing current knowledge on the association of surface
roughness with function in grinding. Main roughness parameters, adopted by ISO standards or not, are
described. The correlation between surface roughness and the desirable function of the surface are
discussed. A model is established for describing the generation of the 'ideal' ground surface profile to
predict theoretically the work piece roughness. But the model is found to be of limited practical use. It
is necessary to adjust the empirical values to the analytical expression obtained in 'ideal' model.
The compound tool of drilling-reaming and rounding chamfer
Show abstract
In the actual processing, the workstages of spot facingmachining are drilling, reaming, rounding chamfer and so on in
milling machine. In large batch production, the workstages are disperse, using more equipments and tools with low
working efficiency and high processing cost. And it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the hole. For these
disadvantages, this paper designs a compound tool of spot facingmachining which subjects the drill, reamer and chamfer
mill. It can complete three workstages in one setup. And this paper designs the structure of the cutting tool, chooses the
material of the cutting part, sets the parameters of cutting part and gives the reference value of cutting parameters. This
cutting tool compounds the structure of drill, reamer and chamfer mill, so the manufacturing process is more complex.
And this paper also introduces the manufacturing process of the cutting tool in detail. It is rather difficult in designing
and manufacturing this spot facingmachining with different compound cutting tool. The existing patents and research are
most brazed cutting tool now, and most using different cutting parameters, so has yet to have the same compound tool at
present. Practice shows that this cutting tool can greatly enhance the machining accuracy of the hole, collect the
machining workstages, reduce the accessorial processing time like changing tool, setting tool and so on, significantly
improve the efficiency, reduce the cost and relieve the labour intensity of the workers. In addition, we can change the
structure and the material of the cutting tool, and the application of the cutting tool is wide.

Cam Grinding is a special kind of non-circular machining. The processing speed of cam grinding has a major influence
on cam machining precision. In this paper, decomposed the X-axis feed speed and C-axis velocity by the tangential
speed and normal speed in accordance with the curvature circle at the point of cam profile grinding. Proposed the cam

Research on abrasion law of coated cutters for high-speed dry milling
Youdan Guo
Show abstract
The application of dry milling technology has completely eliminated the pollution of cutting fluid in
machining. However, dry milling sets very high requirements on milling process and milling cutters,
which has become the bottleneck in the popularization of dry milling technology. This research on the
abrasion mechanism of TiAlN coated cutters for high-speed dry milling has indicated that, in
high-speed dry milling, the abrasion of coated cutter is mainly in the form of crater. TiAlN coating has
very strong oxidation resistance and adhesion resistance, so that the cutters have good abrasion
resistance and crater abrasion resistance. In high-speed dry milling, a very thin layer of amorphous
Al2O3 will be formed on the surface of TiAlN coating, forming hard inert protection film that acts as a
good heat barrier. TiAlN coating has a low friction coefficient, which can effectively reduce the cutting
force and cutting temperature, thus greatly prolonging the life of cutter. As an emerging coated cutter,
TiAlN coated cutters exhibit incomparable excellent performance in high-speed dry milling. The
research shows that factors such as coating thickness, milling speed, chip thickness and cutter
conditions have important impact on the abrasion of TiAlN coated cutters.

Show abstract
This paper presents an experimental study of the application of acoustic emission (AE) signal for tool wear
monitoring in the milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Experiments were conducted and the corresponding AE signals were
captured under different tool wear status. Initial analysis reveals that the AE signal contains useful information
about the mechanism of the tool wear and can reflect the changing of the cutting parameters as well which show
that the AE signal can be used as a reliable means for accurate tool wear monitoring. The comparison with other
kinds of sensor signals also shows that the AE signal is more suitable for online tool wear monitoring in industrial
environment. Based on these conclusions, AE signal can be used as a reliable signal for accurate tool wear
monitoring.

There is considerable interest in utilizing either dry or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) as an alternative to flood
cooling due to environmental concerns with flood coolant such as excessive misting and disposal of the used coolant.
Dry machining can result in high tool wear and also built up edge problems on the cutting tool. The objective of this
research was to study the effect of work piece material and tool material on the machining characteristics, in this case
reaming, of aluminum using MQL. In particular, a high tin casting and three different tool materials: carbide, DLC and

PCD coated insert performed the best in terms of lowest temperature rise, lowest spindle power and highest part quality.
Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis brazing for emergency repair
Yang Bai,
Zhen Luo,
Naifeng Fan,
et al.
Show abstract
It is of great significance to fast weld and repair damaged parts in electroless and gasless field. So, based on Selfpropagating
High-temperature Synthesis (SHS), this paper investigates the SHS brazing of thermit reaction. It is found
that the heat obtained by SHS thermit reaction can not melt the base metal, however the silver solder with the melting
temperature of 595°C to 605°C can all just melt in the middle of the base metal to achieve SHS brazing. In the
experiment, as the surface tension, the molten solder is more likely to wet the slag which is with a larger surface tension,
resulting in the poor wettability between solder and base metal. By adding a certain amount of silver brazing flux into the
powder can solve the problem of base metal wetting. When the silver brazing flux and the powder are in a ratio of 10:1,
solder melt completely, and can be separated with slag, there is a good weld surface. With the increase of silver brazing
flux, the slag is more loose and easy to removal. The solder and base metal coating is better. However, with further
increase in silver brazing flux, the heat from the reaction reduces, solder can not melt. And with the increase of the
powder, the slag and the solder can not be separated. SHS brazing combines the thermit reaction heat with the brazing
technology to achieve the low carbon steel welding. Using the heat of thermit reaction to melt the solder then weld the
steel can overcome the defects of poor quality of traditional welding which use the reaction products. And the operation
is simple. SHS brazing achieve the emergency equipment welding under the condition of no electricity, no gas and
equipment.

Review on advanced composite materials boring mechanism and tools
Runping Shi,
Chengyong Wang
Show abstract
With the rapid development of aviation and aerospace manufacturing technology, advanced composite materials
represented by carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) and super hybrid composites (fibre/metal plates) are more and
more widely applied. The fibres are mainly carbon fibre, boron fibre, Aramid fiber and Sic fibre. The matrixes are resin
matrix, metal matrix and ceramic matrix. Advanced composite materials have higher specific strength and higher specific
modulus than glass fibre reinforced resin composites of the 1st generation. They are widely used in aviation and
aerospace industry due to their high specific strength, high specific modulus, excellent ductility, anticorrosion,
heat-insulation, sound-insulation, shock absorption and high&low temperature resistance. They are used for radomes,
inlets, airfoils(fuel tank included), flap, aileron, vertical tail, horizontal tail, air brake, skin, baseboards and tails, etc. Its
hardness is up to 62~65HRC. The holes are greatly affected by the fibre laminates direction of carbon fibre reinforced
composite material due to its anisotropy when drilling in unidirectional laminates. There are burrs, splits at the exit
because of stress concentration. Besides there is delamination and the hole is prone to be smaller. Burrs are caused by
poor sharpness of cutting edge, delamination, tearing, splitting are caused by the great stress caused by high thrust force.
Poorer sharpness of cutting edge leads to lower cutting performance and higher drilling force at the same time. The
present research focuses on the interrelation between rotation speed, feed, drill's geometry, drill life, cutting mode, tools
material etc. and thrust force. At the same time, holes quantity and holes making difficulty of composites have also
increased. It requires high performance drills which won't bring out defects and have long tool life. It has become a trend
to develop super hard material tools and tools with special geometry for drilling composite materials.

In gear-cutter CAD(Computer Aided Design), certain points belonging to series cutter loci which were generated by the

the properties of a new gear is also a very important step which determines the succedent analyzing steps. However, the
problem of abstracting these data from the loci rapidly and accurately remains to be solved. The two algorithms

on-line gear-tooth analysis. The former focuses on drawing concentric-arcs between the dedendum and addendum of the
gear, the latter concentrates on drawing radial lines between two angles.Such arcs and lines will intersect one or more
lines of the cutter profile.Correspongding screening criterions will greatly contribute to juge and identify useful
intersections which may form the gear profile, and the gear-tooth shape analysis will be carried out as a result.

Show abstract
The utilization of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment is a hot spot in environmental protection field presently and
the resource utilization of cable wastes is an important subject. An enormous amount of electrical cable is disposed of as
scrap each year. In order to recycle the valuable copper wires, cable granulator technique is used widely. However, one
of the shortcomings of this technique is it has serious tool wear. In order to better understand the reason for tool wear,
this paper simulates the stress and strain distribution in the cutting tool and copper during the cutting process in cable
granulator by finite element method. The result shows that a tensile stress region, which is the main reason for blade
tipping, appeared in the upper blade. Besides, the tensile stress in the right side of upper blade is higher than that in the
left side. Therefore, in order to extend the life of cutter, we suggest using different materials in different stress zone to
manufacture cutting tool. After the cutter was worn out, the right side of the blade can be renovated using material with
well tensile performance through overlaying welding, as well as the left side of the blade can be renovated by material
with high red hardness, high wear resistance, and high compression strength through overlaying welding. This method
can reduce the consumption of precious metals and raise the utilization rate of materials.

The reconstruction of helical surface plays an important role in many engineering and scientific applications. This paper
tends to establish an effective processing scheme of surface reconstruction of scatter 3D points, and make an in-depth
exploration for the preprocessing technology of scatter points set and the algorithm of three-dimension model surface
reconstruction. This paper has three main aspects: data acquisition, data preprocess and surface reconstruction. First, by
comparing several measuring equipments, the screw parts are scanned via CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine).
Initial 3D point clouds are obtained by setting the scanning route according to the shape of the targets. Second, Using
"3σ" criteria point de-noising is applied to the initial data points. Then Heap Sort is used to sort these points, being
convenient for saving data and reconstructing the surface. Third, this paper presents a surface reconstruction method
based on triangulation algorithm. The triangular meshes are generated based on Delaunay triangulation technique in two
dimensions. And Loop Subdivision is adopted in order to get manifold meshes. Finally the surface reconstruction of an
involute worm and an Archimedes worm shows that this approach is feasible.

Show abstract
The chip removal structure is very important in deep-hole machining and has great influence on drilling efficiency. The
method of CAD/CFD is presented to optimize design parameters of the chip removal structure in the paper. Because the
shape of front nozzle in the chip removal structure is the key, so the radius of front nozzle is chosen to be an optimized
object. Then, the CAD technology is applied to build a series of three-dimensional parameterization models of the chip
removal structure with different front nozzle radius, and CFD software FLUENT is used to calculate three-dimensional
flow field in the every built model. Subsequently, several evaluation indexes which can indicate performance of the chip
removal structure are established and the calculation results of every inner flow field in the model are evaluated by the
synthesis of Analytic Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation. Finally, the chip removal structure with
optimum front nozzle radius is achieved.

This study seeks to establish microforming technologies for complex-shaped micro-parts which require multi-axial flow
of material. For this purpose, it is important to develop new methods to fabricate micro-moulds and to select suitable
materials and processing technology for microforming. 4Cr5MoSiV1 has been used to fabricate micro-moulds and
Zr65Cu15Ni10Al10 bulk metallic glass has been employed in micro backward extrusion. Our research has demonstrated: (1)
The die mounting base which inner trapezoidal holes has been used instead of the conventional mould would reduce the
mould weight and simplify the processing technology. (2) The Zr65Cu15Ni10Al10 BMG flow strain rate decreases
significantly with punch diameter and punch speed decreasing in the supercooled liquid region, but low strain rate
resulting the extended processing time will cause crystallization phenomenon. (3) Excellent extruding results were
obtained under the punch speed of 8×10-3 mm/s at 703 K, the maximum punch load of 1200 N, the punch size of &nullset; 1.0mm and no pressure holding time.

Show abstract
This paper presents experimental investigations on influence of important process parameters: laser power, scan speed,
layer thickness, hatching space along with their interactions on dimensional accuracy of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
processed pro-coated sand mold. It is observed that dimensional error is dominant along length and width direction of
built mold. Optimum parameters setting to minimize percentage change in length and width of standard test specimen
have been found out using Taguchi's parameter design. Optimum process conditions are obtained by analysis of variance
(ANOVA) is used to understand the significance of process variables affecting dimension accuracy. Scan speed and
hatching space are found to be most significant process variables influencing the dimension accuracy in length and
width. And laser power and layer thickness are less influence on the dimension accuracy. The optimum processing
parameters are attained in this paper: laser power 11 W; scan speed 1200 mm/s; layer thickness 0.5 mm and hatching
space 0.25 mm. It has been shown that, on average, the dimensional accuracy under this processing parameters
combination could be improved by approximately up to 25% compared to other processing parameters combinations.
Cutting of Difficult-to-Machine Materials
Study on the cutting mechanism and the brittle ductile transition model of isotropic pyrolyric graphite
Show abstract
Isotropic pyrolyric graphite (IPG) is a new kind of brittle material, it can be used for sealing the aero-engine turbine shaft
and the ethylene high-temperature equipment. It not only has the general advantages of ordinal carbonaceous materials
such as high temperature resistance, lubrication and abrasion resistance, but also has the advantages of impermeability
and machinability that carbon/carbon composite doesn't have. Therefore, it has broad prospects for development.
Mechanism of brittle-ductile transition of IPG is the foundation of precision cutting while the plastic deformation of IPG
is the essential and the most important mechanical behavior of precision cutting. Using the theory of strain gradient, the
mechanism of this material removal during the precision cutting is analyzed. The critical cutting thickness of IPG is
calculated for the first time. Furthermore, the cutting process parameters such as cutting depth, feed rate which

of micromechanics, the deformation behaviors of IPG such as brittle fracture, plastic deformation and mutual
transformation process are all simulated under the Sih.G.C fracture criterion. The condition of the simulation is that the
material under the pressure-shear loading conditions .The result shows that the best angle during the IPG precision
cutting is -30°. The theoretical analysis and the simulation result are validated by precision cutting experiments.
An experimental study of machinability of FGH95 in end milling with coated carbide tools
Show abstract
FGH95 is one of difficult-to-cut nickel-based powder metallurgy (PM) superalloys which are commonly used in
advanced turbo-engines. Firstly, this paper presents an orthogonal design experiments to study the cutting force and
cutting temperature variations in the end milling of FGH95 with two kinds of coated carbide tools. It is found that AlTiN
coated solid carbide end mill is suit for machining FGH95 nickel-based powder metallurgy superalloy. Experimental
results show that with the increase of cutting speed, radial depth of cut, feed rate, there is a growing tendency in cutting
forces. Among the cutting condition parameters, cutting speed has the greatest influence on cutting forces, especially
when cutting speed exceeds 55m/min. With the increase of cutting speed and radial depth of cut, cutting temperature
increases. However the cutting temperature decreases slightly as the increasing of feed rate. Reason for temperature
variations is investigated in this paper. Secondly, tool wear mechanism in end milling of FGH95 is analyzed. It is shown
that chipping on cutting edge is the most dominate wear mechanism which dominates the deterioration and final failure
of the coated carbide tools. Thirdly, the machined surface topography is measured with white light interferometer and
Super depth digital microscope. Based on the measurement, it is found that better surface roughness and waviness are
obtained with using AlTiN coated carbide tools than by TiAlN/TiN/TiAlN coated ones.

Baolin Yin,
Rongdi Han,
Ying Yu,
et al.
Show abstract
This paper deals with theoretical and experimental investigation into the processing parameters which influence the
tapping torque in vibration tapping. Theoretic analysis with fracture mechanics indicates that the pulsating cutting force
effect of the tap on the workpiece results in stress increasing, which leads to reduced cutting forces and a much lower
tapping torque. And the effect of the increasing stress would decays gradually with increasing cutting distances.
Theoretical analyzers have been developed to the relationship between tapping torque and torsional angle amplitude and
net cutting time ration in vibration tapping. Large quantity experiments of vibration tapping in different materials with
different thread dimension have be introduced. The thread dimension range M3 to M6, and materials of test include C45
steel, 1Cr18Ni9Ti, TC4 and GH4169. Tapping torque wave was measured in vibration tapping. And the experiments
were conducted to compare the fluctuation tapping torque with different cutting distance. Experimental results showed
that tapping torque would increase with increasing of torsional angle amplitude and net cutting time ration in vibration
tapping. And the theoretical results are confirmed by experiments.

In this paper, a complete framework is proposed to realize on-line monitoring of surface quality based on
machining mechanism and multi-sensor fusion. Off-line experiments and on-line modeling are integrated
together to obtain the effective features to characterize the relation between the surface quality and sensor
information. Vibration, force and acoustic emission signal are selected and different sensors are mounted
to obtain enough information from the machining process. In addition, parametric and non parametric
methods are used to extract the features which are sensitive to surface quality and insensitive to the
cutting parameters. After the features are selected, methods based on hybrid intelligence are presented to
build the relationship between the surface quality and the corresponding features. The establishment of
the whole framework provides an effective means to realize the online monitoring of surface quality
during the milling process.
Theories of Measurement Accuracy and Error

Huakun Xie,
Ying Fu,
Gang Feng,
et al.
Show abstract
Fine-pitch gears with module ranging from 0.05 to 0.5 are widely used in the fields of dial indicators, aeronautic gauges
and instruments, timers and watches and so on; but because of their small size and weak rigidity and small aount of
inertia, so far there are few methods in practice being able to meet the requirements of their reliable, precise and efficient
accuracy measurements, especially in batch production. Based on the gear integrated error measuring technology and the
gear single flank rolling tester, a differential type of gear single flank point rolling scan measuring technique and a
prototype of the gear differential single flank rolling tester have been developed to explore a new way to solve the
problem. By using a special made master gear, the tester can perform not only the measurement of the gear tangential
composite deviations but also the measurement of the gear elementary deviations, including profile deviations and pitch
deviations, and also integrated deviatons of fine-pitch gears in batch production with high efficiency and accuracy. The
conception of "Two spindles be driven in synchronization, and one differential measurement be in closed loop" and the
design structure of "spindle on spindle" adopted by the prototype are introduced in the paper. Some practical
measurement results in factory and a few discussions are also presented.
Mechanical bearing bore similarity law of non-thermal deformation
Show abstract
The gear transmission is widely used in mechanical engineering. During the work time, the size of the bearing hole has
changed due to temperature increase, leading to the size, shape and position tolerances of shaft and bearing with the
components deviates from the original design requirements, thus making the spatial location of axis , gear with the gap
and tooth contact angle changed, noise increasing, gear life shorten. In this paper, the thermal deformation experiments
of the commonly used mechanical engineering machinery bearing hole has been carrying on. Using self-developed
experimental device, in the -10 ~ 80°C temperature range, a single hole is measured accurately on the different radial
direct, and measurement data is analyzed, combined with the structure and size of surrounding of hole. The results of
theory and test analysis show that the thermal deformation feature of hole is not only closely related to the physical
attributes of material, but still affected by its own structure and size of parts. That means thermal deformation of parts
has non-similar thermal deformation features.

The thermal error compensation of CNC machine tool is of great value to improving the accuracy, and the modeling
method is a proximate factor of thermal error compensation and its robustness. Currently, internationally adopted
modeling methods include multiple linear regression, neural network method etc. And the most commonly used
modeling method is multiple linear regression, what is simple and quick. But forecast accuracy which needs to be
improved limits to the application of thermal error modeling of precision CNC machine. When we model a time series
modeling, we study variables and its extrapolate mechanism to forecast changes of time series, give heavier weight to the
data near by the prediction, increase short-term parameters' impact of model, so as to achieve improving forecasting
precision of model. And time series models have been used widely in economic, sociology and medicine, but few in
thermal error modeling of CNC machine. Adopt autoregressive distributed lag model of time series analysis, and contract
of results among time series model, multiple linear regression model, demonstrate that forecast accuracy can be
improved using time series model, and time series analysis has a bright future.

A data prediction method under small sample condition by combining neural network and grey system methods
Show abstract
Data prediction is one of the key problems for precision measurement and control. The data obtained by measuring
system are often limited. To solve the small sample problem, the BP neural network methods are widely used. However,
because of too many input factors and complex data training process, the convergence speed of the BP neural network
method is slow. To increase the convergence speed, some grey relational analysis methods were introduced into the BP
neural network methods. The grey relational coefficients were calculated first. And by sorting the grey relational
coefficients, some factors with less relationship were removed form the BP neural network's inputs. Through the
preliminary theory and experiment analysis, the data prediction under small sample could be fulfilled in accuracy and
with high convergence speed.

Haiou Chen,
Xiaofen Yu
Show abstract
Rolling-wheel method is an effective way of measuring big diameter. After amending the temperature error and pressure
error, the uncertainty of measurement can not be φ =5um/m stably because of the influence of skid. The traditional
method of identifying skid loses sight of the influences of the unstable motor speed, the appearance form error and the
eccentric of installation of the big axis and rolling wheel and so on, so the method has its limitation. In this paper, a new
method of multiple identification and repair is introduced, namely n diameters are measured and Chauvenet standard is
used for identifying the anomalous measurements one by one, and then the average value of the remaining data is used
for repairing identified anomalous measurements, and the next round identification and repair is carried out until the
accuracy requirement of the measurement is satisfied. The result of experiments indicates that the method can identify
anomalous measurements whose offsets caused by the skid are greater than 0.2φ , and the uncertainty of measurement
has improved substantially.

Show abstract
The development of modern manufacturing requires a higher speed and accuracy of coordinate measuring machines
(CMM). The dynamic error is the main factor affecting the measurement accuracy at high-speed. The dynamic error
modeling and estimation are the basis of dynamic error correcting. This paper applies generalize regression neural
network (GRNN) to establish and estimate dynamic error model. Compared with BP neural network (BPNN), GRNN
has less parameters, only one smoothing factor parameter should to be adjusted. So that it can predict the network faster
and with greater computing advantage. The running speed of CMM axis is set through software. Let it running for the X
axis motion. The values of the grating and the dual frequency laser interferometer are gained synchronously at the same
measure point. The difference between the two values is the real-time dynamic measurement error. The 150 values are
collected. The first 100 values of the error sequence are used as training data to establish GRNN model, and the next 50
values are used to test the estimation results. When the smooth factor is set at 0.5, the estimation of GRNN training data
is better.The simulation with the experimental data shows that GRNN method obtains better error estimation accuracy
and higher computing speed compared with BPNN. GRNN can be applied to dynamic error estimation of CMM under
certain conditions.

this expression, the large-scale 3D reference field is designed and used to test the effects of these accuracy factors. The
experimental results show that the relationship between the accuracy and the factors is consistent with the expression.
These conclusions will guide the photogrammetric work to reduce the system errors.

Show abstract
According to the energy ratio value of multi-band radiating from the measured surface, the 'true' temperature can be
calculated by multi-band pyrometer. Multi-band pyrometer has many advantages: it can hardly be affected by the
emission of measured surface and the environment radiation, and it has higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio and higher
temperature measurement accuracy. This paper introduces the principle of a multi-band pyrometer and the uncertainty of
measurement result is evaluated by using Monte-Carlo Method (MCM). The result shows that the accuracy of effective
wavelength is the largest source of uncertainty and the other main source is reference temperature. When using ordinary
blackbody furnace with continuous temperature, which can provide reference temperature and calibrate effective
wavelength, the uncertainty component is 2.17K and 2.48K respectively. The combined standard uncertainty is 3.30K. A
new calibration method is introduced. The effective wavelength is calibrated by monochromator, and the reference
temperature is provided by fixed point black body furnace. The uncertainty component is decreased to 0.73K and 0.12K
respectively. The measurement uncertainty is decreased to 0.74K. The temperature measurement accuracy is enhanced.

Universal geometric error modeling of the CNC machine tools based on the screw theory
Show abstract
The methods to improve the precision of the CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine tools can be classified
into two categories: error prevention and error compensation. Error prevention is to improve the precision via high
accuracy in manufacturing and assembly. Error compensation is to analyze the source errors that affect on the machining
error, to establish the error model and to reach the ideal position and orientation by modifying the trajectory in real time.
Error modeling is the key to compensation, so the error modeling method is of great significance. Many researchers have
focused on this topic, and proposed many methods, but we can hardly describe the 6-dimensional configuration error of
the machine tools. In this paper, the universal geometric error model of CNC machine tools is obtained utilizing screw
theory. The 6-dimensional error vector is expressed with a twist, and the error vector transforms between different
frames with the adjoint transformation matrix. This model can describe the overall position and orientation errors of the
tool relative to the workpiece entirely. It provides the mathematic model for compensation, and also provides a guideline
in the manufacture, assembly and precision synthesis of the machine tools.

Optical measuring techniques for micro structures are limited by the numerical aperture of the objective. Within
these limits different techniques can be used: white light interferometry uses an illumination source with short

laser speckle texture images of grinding surface are analyzed. Feature vectors of GMRF are calculated with different
neighbor sets. Texture features- Mean, Variance and Energy are extracted to characterize grinding surface roughness
from GMRF feature vectors. The relationships curves are drawn between the texture features and surface roughness. The
experiment results show that the surface roughness contained in the surface speckle pattern texture images has a good
monotonic relationship with texture features of GMRF model. This method can extract the surface roughness of the
object surface composed of the same material and machined by the same method as the standard specimen.
Multiview photogrammetry data registration by the way of stereovision movement tracking
Show abstract
A point cloud registration method based on stereovision movement tracking is proposed in this paper. The movement
tracking and analysis system is composed of a stereovision measurement system and target bars. Target bars are fixed on
a structured light profile scanning system. Retro-reflect target points pasted on the bars are captured by the stereovision
measurement system to compute location and orientation of the scanner. The scanner is controlled to move in the view
field of the movement tracking system to complete a whole scan of the large scale object. Transformation parameters
including the rotation matrixes and translation vectors between local scanning coordinate systems and the global
movement tracking coordinate system are computed by tracking the retro-reflect target points. Then, local cloud data of
each scan is transformed into the global tracking coordinate system which is obviously an easier registration method.
Experimental system is built and experiments are carried out. A movement tracking experiment is designed to give a
maximum error of movement tracking less than 0.3 millimeters. Registration algorithm is verified useful by another
experiment which gives a complete profile scanning of a large scale fan blade work piece. Accuracy experiments are
designed to result in an average registration error less than 0.3 millimeters and standard deviation less than 0.2
millimeters.

Xianhui Mao,
Chunhui Niu,
Yong Lu
Show abstract
Because of the heat-resistant difference between the cancer cell and the normal cell, the normal cell can resistant higher
temperature than cancer cell does. Clinical experiments showed that microwave or ultrasonic can effectively cure cancer.
But since there is strong electromagnetic interference, the conventional temperature sensor will find itself hard to get the
accurate temperature. So it is necessary to find a feasible sensor to measure the temperature. Fiber optic grating (FBG)
sensor is excellent candidate for measuring temperature of in vivo lesion. In this paper, the investigation on the
application of an optical fiber sensor in the field of biomedical engineering was introduced. The main objective of our
investigation has been to develop a novel senor based on FBG to measure the temperature of in vivo lesion. Based on the
Bragg equation, the temperature sensing properties of fiber optic grating was studied and the affection of central
wavelength on the FBG sensing sensitivities have also been analyzed. In order to reduce the error of the FBG sensors
system, it is necessary to adopt a good demodulation algorithm to calculate peak wavelength. An experimental system
was set up which to test feasibility of the sensor. Among some of the peak detection algorithms, tested by experimental
measuring system, the peak detection method by the Gaussian nonlinear curve fitting was finally adopted and the test
results showed that the temperature measuring system based on the FBG was in the accuracy of 0.1°C.

This paper presents the basic principle and design method of the cruor measurement system with photometry. Meanwhile
the hardware structure and data processing method of the system are also presented. The selection of different
monochromatic lights increases the specificity of the tests. The Percentage Detection Method reduces the impacts of the

transmitted light during the absorbance measurement. Thereby the tests can be more accurate.
Scanning Twyman interferometer for measuring small angular displacement
Show abstract
We present a simple but effective method for measuring small angular displacement based on a scanning
Twyman interferometer ,in which, one of the two mirrors is mounted on the piezoelectric ceramic (PZT)
droved by saw-tooth voltage, the status of interference fringes changes from static to dynamic. A
photoelectric detector detects this dynamic photo-signal and changes into electronic signal. The signal is
inputted into an oscillograph. The oscillogram will present interference crests. The method for measuring
small angular displacement is based on the linear relation between the angular displacement and the crest
shift on the oscillogram.
Research on all fiber beat length measurement system for polarization-maintaining fibers
Show abstract
Polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) has attracted great attentions not only due to its ability to realize coherent optic
communication with ultrahigh-capacity, but also because it can be widely employed in high-precise fiber-optic sensors
and optic information processors, e.g., fiber-optic gyroscope and fiber-optic amperemeter. Distinct with common
monomode optic fibers, additional birefringence is introduced in the PMF, minimizing the effect of mode coupling
between two orthogonal polarization modes in optic fibers. Thus, light polarization can be maintained after long
distance transmission in the PMF. However, beat-length, which reflects the characteristic of induced birefringence and
evaluates the ability of polarization maintaining, is one of the most important parameters for PMF. Accurate
measurement of PMF beat length becomes more and more important along with the expanding of its application field.
The uniqueness of the measurement results determines the identity of PMF fabrication and the resolution of fiber-optic
sensors. The existing measurement methods for PMF beat length are introduced first. Most testing setups are established
by several individual components, which lead to complicated setup, inconvenient testing, and unsteady measurement.
In this paper, a novel all fiber beat length measurement system is presented, where optic source, integrated optic
modulator, stress apply structure, polarization detector, and polarization indicator of output light are included. The
configuration and working principle of the whole system, and the designing and realization of each components, are
addressed in the paper. Furthermore, the influence on measurement results by the relative direction between applied
stress and principal axis of the optic fiber is analyzed. Moreover, optimized designs, including polarized light incidence,
pressure apply, and precise movement systems, are performed, which ensure the identical pressure apply direction in the
moving process. Finally, measurement of PMF samples is carried out on experimental setup. In comparison with the
other existing system, due to its all fiber light incidence structure, the novel beat length measurement system represents
great stability and high reliability.

Xiaoping Lou,
Naiguang Lv,
Peng Sun,
et al.
Show abstract
A binocular structured light measurement system using heterodyne multi-frequency method is researched in this paper.
Three steps must be done to recover 3D profile information: cameras calibration; points matching; 3D information
reconstruction. The intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of cameras are calibrated by Zhengyou Zhan's method [1]. Stereo
vision model is the basic rule of 3D recovering. Techniques of phase shift and heterodyne multi-frequency are used to aid
points matching. Some coded digital fringes are projected to the free-form surfaces and corresponding images are
captured by two cameras simultaneously. The wrapped phase map is obtained through four-step phase shift. In a single
cycle, phase value is calculated using arctangent function and it is between -π and π. The heterodyne multi-frequency
method is applied to get the absolute phase map. When the number of frequencies is changed from 2 to 3, or 4, the
unwrapping accuracy and matching results are improved. The processing theory and experimental results are illustrated
and analyzed. The experimental results show that accurate and reliable phase result can be obtained on phase map
boundaries and break points, which proves its feasibility in industrial situations.

Large dish solar concentrator is consist of many small parabolic mirrors. In the processing and installation, small mirror
will deviate from the ideal state, meanwhile some errors including non-parallelism of solar rays, tracking error etc will
affect the performance of the concentrator. Based on the rotation parabolic's condenser characteristics and some previous
literature's ideas. we take one part of the large dish to analysis the size of focal spot which is affected by non-parallelism

numerical simulations, we can get the analysis results which present a reference for the dish solar concentrator design
and installation.
Surface roughness measurement for semi-spherical workpieces based on Bessel structured beam
Hao Meng,
Lianqing Zhu,
Zhongyu Wang
Show abstract
Laser triangulation method is a method in common use to measure surface roughness. In the traditional laser
triangulation method, a Gaussian beam is used to scan the measured surface point by point. Since the data is collecting
by means of point scanning, a considerable number of measurements are essential for the whole measured surface. Hence
the measurement of a semi-spherical surface is costly and time consuming. In this paper Bessel structured beam is used
in the triangulation measurement system instead of Gaussian beam. Owing to the characteristics of its longer focal depth,
the system using Bessel structured beam possesses the advantages of wider measurement range, higher theoretical
measurement accuracy and resolution over the traditional laser triangulation measurement system. With scanning the
measured surface using the concentric rings of Bessel structured beam, a piece of area on the workpieces' surface can be
measured through only once measurement. Taking a latitudinal circle with a radius of 5mm as an example, it takes only
9.3s to obtain the surface profiles of the whole latitudinal circle with the proposed system in this paper, while it must be
measured point by point with the stylus device and more than 60s are needed.

S. A. Bulgakova
Show abstract
Fiber-optic interferometers are one of the most sensitive components of optical meters of physical
fields, mechanical strains and movements. The greatest efficiency is shown when such devices
are used together with semiconductor sources - lasers, LED and SRD. Until very recently nonlinear
effects in optical instruments and devices were thought to play an obvious role only with emissions
having comparatively great power (from some units up to some tens mW ) in quartz fibers. The
results of the most recent researches show that non-linear effects in fiber-interferometers with the
length of baselines up to some kilometers with small emission power in the fiber (deciles mW ) play
an important role.

Signal Analysis and Image Processing
A novel digital shearography with wide angle of view for nondestructive inspection
Show abstract
Digital shearography is widely accepted in non-destructive inspection of honeycomb sandwich structures due to its
advantages of validity, non-contact, simple setup and robustness. In digital shearography, Michelson shear interferometer
(MSI) is a dominant shearing device because it is easy to change the shearing amount and direction. However, the
conventional digital shearography based on MSI suffers from the small angle of view which limits its employments in
full field inspection of a big size sample at a short working distance. A novel structure digital shearography with wide
angle of view introduced in this paper is developed to overcome the disadvantage. In the new shearography optical
arrangement, the image lens is separated with the camera and locates at the front of system. A 4f imaging system is used
to transmit the image of object from the imaging lens to the camera. The shearing device, MSI, locates between the
imaging lens and camera. The angle of view in this shearography has no limit to the setup but it is based on several
parameters, such as the focus length of the imaging lens and the size of the imaging device inside the camera. Thus wide
angle of view can be easily achieved by changing those parameters. Using this novel digital shearography, full field
inspection of the big size honeycomb sandwich structure can be rapidly conducted at a short working distance.

Show abstract
Optical measurement techniques for full-field analysis of deformation, strain and vibration are commonly used in various
fields of mechanical engineering. The focus of this presentation is on the recent developments and applications of the
Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique. The full-field function
allows an easy understanding of processes and designs under various conditions and their optimizations.
We present a brief overview about recent applications of ESPI for the determination of static strain in composite and
inhomogeneous materials and the use of the technique for optimization of the design of components in automotive

information can be converted to an electronic analog signal and be used for the real-time monitoring of the test. Using
High Speed cameras the DIC technique can be applied to vibration problems and a high resolution in the temporal
domain can be achieved. Different types of loading, like harmonic, shock or noise excitation, are applicable.

In order to reduce energy consumption and improve the stability of cement burning system production, it is necessary to
conduct in-depth analysis of the cement burning system, control the operation state and law of the system. In view of the
rotary kiln consumes most of the fuel, we establish the simulation model of the cement kiln used to find effective control

then constructed cement kiln model based on BP and Elman network, both achieved good fitting results. Elman network
model has a faster convergence speed, high precision and good generalization ability. So the Elman network based model
can be used as simulation model of the cement rotary kiln for exploring new control method.

Micro electro discharge machining (Micro EDM) is a non-traditional processing technology with the special advantages
of low set-up cost and few cutting force in machining any conductive materials regardless of their hardness. As well
known, die-sinking EDM is unsuitable for machining the complex 3D micro cavity less than 1mm due to the high-priced

complementary advantages of the 3D SSMEDM and the array micro electrodes with simple cross-section. During 3D
ASSMEDM process, the array cavities designed by CAD / CAM system can be batch-manufactured by servo scanning
layer by layer using array-rod-like micro tool electrodes, and the axial wear of the array electrodes is compensated in real

Active learning is an important technique to improve the learned model using unlabeled data, when labeled data is difficult
to obtain, and unlabeled data is available in large quantity and easy to collect. Several instance querying strategies have
been suggested recently. These works show that empirical risk minimization (ERM) can find the next instance to label
effectively, but the computation time consumption is large. This paper introduces a new approach to select the best
instance with less time consumption. In the case where the data is graphical in nature, we can implement the graph
topological analysis to rapidly select instances that are likely to be good candidates for labeling. This paper describes an
approach of using degree of a node metric to identify the best instance next to label. We experiment on Zachary's Karate
Club dataset and 20 newsgroups dataset with four binary classification tasks, the results show that the strategy of degree of
a node has similar performance to ERM with less time consumption.

Expanding with heat and contracting with cold are common physical phenomenon in the nature. Variation in temperature
leads to corresponding variation in physical dimension of mechanical parts. The conventional theories and calculations
of thermal deformation are approximate and linear, can only be applied in normal or low precision field. The shortages
of conventional calculations are pointed out. According to the research results of many years, a theory is given that the
thermal deformation error of mechanical parts doesn't follow the conventional linear formula, it relates to all physical
dimension of the mechanical part, and the deformation can be indicated by a nonlinear formula of physical dimensions.
Studies on some common mechanical parts in precision technology have went on and the mathematical models have
been set up, cylindrical piece, hollow piece and sphere are included. The experimental results also make it clear that
these models are more logical than the traditional one. Because the sphere has only one physical dimension, so the
thermal expansion coefficient can be achieved by detecting the thermal deformation of the sphere, and this method is
more logical than the traditional method.
