In this paper, we proposed a new device for geometry errors measurement and coaxiality evaluation, and the corresponding methodology for coaxiality evaluation from measurement data is presented, which allows to characterize multiple holes at a time. Unlike traditional measurement system a laser sensor is mounted onto out of the holes so that multi-hole surfaces can be “seen” by the senor when it rotates around a fixed axis. First the intersections (or ellipse profiles) of the sensor’s scanning plane and holes, are computed by fitting. Then, the center coordinates and profile points of the ellipse are computed and transformed to the 3D global coordinate frame. Finally the centerline of the hole is determined from the 3D profile points by using a weighted least-squares fitting algorithm. In addition, to reduce the effect of noises on the measurement result, error analysis and compensation techniques are studied to improve the measurement accuracy. A case study is presented to validate the measurement principle and data processing approach.

Fast-starts are brief, sudden accelerations used by fish during predator-prey encounters. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) test and analysis method is critical to understand the function of the pectoral fin during maneuvers. An experiment method based on Fourier Transform Profilometry for 3D pectoral fin profile variety during fish maneuvers is proposed. This method was used in a carp fast-start during prey. Projecting the moiré fringes onto a carp pectoral fin it will produce the deformed fringe patterns contain 3D information. A high speed camera captures these time-sequence images. By Fourier transform, filter, inverse Fourier transform and unwrap these phase maps in 3D phase space, the complex pectoral fin profile variety were really reconstructed. The present study provides a new method to quantify the analysis of kinetic characteristic of the pectoral fin during maneuvers.

The acoustic horn plays a very vital part in high energy ultrasonic machining, and its design is critical to the quality and the efficiency of ultrasonic machining. This paper performs the analysis and design of acoustic horns for ultrasonic welding Teflon encapsulated O-ring by employing ANSYS finite element software. Firstly, the theoretical dimensions of the horns are calculated. Moreover, their natural frequencies and amplitudes are obtained through the simulations of ANSYS.

An approach to modeling the material removal rate (MRR) during rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of ceramics is proposed and applied to predicting the MRR for the case of magnesia stabilized zirconia. The model, a first attempt at predicting the MRR in RUM, is based on the assumption that brittle fracture is the primary mechanism of material removal. To justify this assumption, a model parameter (which models the ratio of the fractured volume to the indented volume of a single diamond particle) is shown to be invariant for most machining conditions. The model is mechanistic in the sense that this parameter can be observed experimentally from a few experiments for a particular material and then used in prediction of MRR over a wide range of process parameters. This is demonstrated for magnesia stabilized zirconia, where very good predictions are obtained using an estimate of this single parameter. On the basis of this model, relations between the material removal rate and the controllable machining parameters are deduced. These relationships agree well with the trends observed by experimental observations made by other investigators.
