According to the technical problems such as low stiffness vibration and dimension error in milling Ti6Al4V thin-walled component, the manufacturing with paraffin reinforcement is studied. Firstly, paraffin formula for milling thin-walled component is researched. Secondly, applying the finite element method (FEM) to predict the deformation of machining with paraffin reinforcement and the corresponding milling experiments is done to check the the validity of the model. Finally, the influences of machining accuracy about different paraffin formulas for the same component are obtained. This study supplies support for the research of paraffin formula which are based on reducing the distortion of workpiece.

Abstract Buckling and postbuckling behaviour of thin-walled channel section beam made of epoxy-glass composite have been considered. The beams under analysis was subjected to pure bending. The main aim was check the influence of ply arrangement on buckling load and postbuckling behaviour and validate the authors analytical-numerical method by commercial finite element method software. Mentioned analytical-numerical method has been developed for more than 25 years in Department of Strength of Materials. This method uses asymptotic Koiter theory for conservative systems in the second order approximation modified by Byskov and Hutchinson. Additionally, using the finite element method software the influence of ply arrangement on failure load were checked.
