A new approach for the nondestructive determination of the elastic properties of composite laminates is presented. The approach represents an improvement of a recently published experimental methodology based on the Impulse Excitation Technique, which allows nondestructively assessing local elastic properties of composite laminates by isolating a region of interest through a proper clamping system. Different measures of the first resonant frequency are obtained by rotating the clamping system with respect to the material orientation. Here, in order to increase the robustness of the inverse problem, which determines the elastic properties from the measured resonant frequencies, information related to the modal shape is retained by considering the effect of an additional concentrated mass on the first resonant frequency. According to the modal shape and the position of the mass, different values of the first resonant frequency are obtained. Here, two positions of the additional mass, i.e., two values of the resonant frequency in addition to the unloaded frequency value, are considered for each material orientation. A Rayleigh–Ritz formulation based on higher order theory is adopted to compute the first resonant frequency of the clamped plate with concentrated mass. The elastic properties are finally determined through an optimization problem that minimizes the discrepancy on the frequency reference values. The proposed approach is validated on several materials taken from the literature. Finally, advantages and possible limitations are discussed.

High- precision and large scale are the developing trend for injection molding machine clamping system .This paper compared the characteristics of three-platen toggle and dual-platen hydraulic clamping system. The key impact factors that effecting plastic parts` precision from clamping system were discussed systematically first time. Based on these analyses, a new clamping system has been proposed and manufactured to improve the plastics parts` precision, including three new technologies: new type dual-platen structure, parallelism adaptive correction technology and numerical controlled hydraulic servo system technology. It has been applied in practical machine successfully, and experiment result proves that it is effective enough to satisfying the high-precision molding of large plastics parts.

Deformation-free clamping plays an important role in manufacturing systems helping to ensure zero-defect production. The fixture of workpieces during machining processes poses challenges not only for microparts but also for thin-walled pieces or free-form surfaces in macromanufacturing. To address this challenge, a nontraditional adhesive technique, using frozen water to clamp, is introduced in this paper. By increasing the cooling power and thus reducing the temperature of the clamping plate, higher adhesive ice strength and, therefore, a safer clamping system during machining process, can be achieved. The objective of this investigation is to ensure a stable low temperature and to compensate for thermal disturbances. Thanks to their structural robustness, Lyapunov-based control strategies demonstrate an appropriate capability to achieve these results in real industrial applications. Model design of the clamping system as well as simulation and experimental results are shown and discussed.

Bauteile aus CFK (kohlenstofffaserverstärkte Kunststoffe) werden meist spanend endbearbeitet. Diese Bearbeitung kann unter Überflutung durch KSS (Kühlschmierstoffe) oder trocken stattfinden. Die hier vorgestellte Studie zeigt für die Trockenzerspanung, wie die notwendige Erfassung von Stäuben und Spänen stattfindet, welche Technologien eingesetzt werden und wie eine Maschinen- und Bauteilreinigung aussieht.   A machining process is mostly used as a last step in the production of workpieces made of CFRP. In this machining process lubricants may be used or dry cutting processes are applicated. The here presented study shows for dry machining processes, which technologies are used for the dust and chip extraction. Furthermore, the techniques for the cleaning of the machine, the clamping system and workpiece are presented.

Abstract The replacement of damaged journal bearings in forming machines eventuates in very high personal and material costs as well as long-term downtime. Moreover, new discontinuous forming processes (e.g., press hardening and pendulum operations) have a negative effect on the hydrodynamic pressure built up in the bearing and can lead to failure. Therefore, users and manufacturers of forming presses are looking for ways to improve the safety of this key component. In this paper, the concept of an intelligent hybrid plain bearing (IHPB) that combines hydrodynamic and hydrostatic characteristics, presented by Kurth et al., (2019, “Forming 4.0: Smart Machine Components Applied as a Hybrid Plain Bearing and a Tool Clamping System,” Proc. Manuf., 27, pp. 65–71), is detailed and validated on a test rig. The clearance state of the journal bearing is monitored through eddy current sensors and a controlled hydrostatic support is activated, when this state is evaluated as critical. The results show a strong increase in the load capacity and in the minimal lubrication gap of the IHPB within three series of tested experiments: stationary, nonstationary, and press-typical load cases.

Background: In the literature no information about plates for the high-neck mandibular condylar osteosynthesis could be found despite that 30 plate designs have been published. The main course consider the basal condylar or diacapitular fractures. The aim of the study was to test mechanically all available designs (only 4 of 30 was proper) on polyurethane mandibles using an individually designed clamping system. Methods: Forces required for a 1 mm displacement of fixed fracture fragments and incidents of screw loosening were recorded. Results: It has occured that dedicated plates for fixation are much weaker than set of two straight plates (p < 0.0001). General observation is the bigger plate and more screws, the better rigid stable osteosynthesis of mandibular condyle, however, there are limitations in plates design for high-neck fractures resulted in restricted operation field. Conclusion: Double straight plates occured to be the best mechanical fixation for high-neck fractures of the mandibular condyle. Maybe other existing plates could be used but only after prebending or that fracture required novel dedicated plates design.
