The process of designing any new machine tool consists of several stages during its prototype development. Once the cutting envelope and power requirements have been defined, the major structural components are usually designed simultaneously by several different designers, as a result of project time constraints. Because designers may sometimes have a difficult time knowing what impact their changes might have on the completed machine, they need to optimize each of their components separately. In theory, this approach should lead to a possibility of only minor component changes at the point when the complete machine is structurally analyzed. The optimization of each major component is a function of several defined sets of criteria, such as total weight and stiffness (both static and dynamic) under different types of load and boundary conditions. By establishing these criteria, the effectiveness of changes can be evaluated at different times of the machine’s development and optimization. When taking this design approach, it is safe to assume that complete machine tool structures, composed of optimized components, will not only have good static and dynamic characteristics, but also should be cost effective, as the total iron mass will be at a minimum for each component. Results of this process will be shown thru described component optimization changes of an actual new machine design from it’s concept, assembly and final testing.

Machine Tool Structures

The structural vibration in conventional machine tools which are generally made of cast iron may lead to poor surface finish of the machined components. This has led to the investigations on alternative materials for machine tool structures such as concrete, polymer concrete and epoxy granite which have higher damping properties but lesser Young's modulus. However, higher static stiffness with higher damping is essential for improving the static and dynamic characteristics of machine tool structures. Hence, this work focuses on replacing the vertical machining centre base made of cast iron with steel reinforced epoxy granite to improve the structural static stiffness. A finite element model of the above base is developed and validated against the experimental data obtained using modal analysis. The validated numerical approach is applied for investigating the seven progressive design configurations of base reinforced with steel. It is found that the epoxy granite base of Design configuration-7 with L-channels has significantly reduced the deformation by 56 and 36% considering milling and drilling operations, respectively, in comparison to cast iron base. Further, the natural frequencies of the above configuration are higher in all the modes (by more than 50%) under consideration than those of the existing cast iron structure. Therefore, the proposed configuration of base is a viable alternative for the existing base in order to achieve higher structural damping. The novelty of the present work is the design of epoxy granite vertical machining centre base using steel reinforcements to improve structural rigidity with ease of manufacturing.

Background: The incoming disease-modifying therapies against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) require reliable diagnostic markers to correctly enroll patients all over the world. CSF AD biomarkers, namely amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42), total tau (t-tau), and tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181), showed good diagnostic accuracy in detecting AD pathology, but their real usefulness in daily clinical practice is still a matter of debate. Therefore, further validation in complex clinical settings, that is patients with different types of dementia, is needed to uphold their future worldwide adoption. Methods: We measured CSF AD biomarkers’ concentrations in a sample of 526 patients with a clinical diagnosis of dementia (277 with AD and 249 with Other Type of Dementia, OTD). Brain FDG-PET was also considered in a subsample of 54 patients with a mismatch between the clinical diagnosis and the CSF findings. Results: A p-tau181/Aβ42 ratio higher than 0.13 showed the best diagnostic performance in differentiating AD from OTD (86% accuracy index, 74% sensitivity, 81% specificity). In cases with a mismatch between clinical diagnosis and CSF findings, brain FDG-PET partially agreed with the p-tau181/Aβ42 ratio, thus determining an increase in CSF accuracy. Conclusions: The p-tau181/Aβ42 ratio alone might reliably detect AD pathology in heterogeneous samples of patients suffering from different types of dementia. It might constitute a simple, cost-effective and reproducible in vivo proxy of AD suitable to be adopted worldwide not only in daily clinical practice but also in future experimental trials, to avoid the enrolment of misdiagnosed AD patients.

The head frame is a key component which plays a supportive and accommodative role in the spindle system of CNC machine tool. Improving the static and dynamic characteristics has profound significance to the development of machine tool and product performance. The simplified finite element modal is established with ANSYS to carry out the static and modal analysis. The results showed that the maximum deformation of the head frame was 0.0066mm, the maximum stress was 3.94Mpa, the deformation of most region was no more than 0.0007mm, which all verified that the head frame had a good stiffness and deforming resistance; several improvement measures for dynamic performance were also proposed by analyzing the mode shapes, and the 1st order natural frequency increased 7.33% while the head frame mass only increased 1.58% applying the optimal measure, which improved the dynamic characteristics of the head frame effectively.

CFRP laminates are used for various aircraft structural components because of their good mechanical and physical properties. Metallic inserts are one kind of aerospace fasteners, which are usually installed in the metallic components by an interference fit. However, when metallic inserts are installed in the CFRP laminates by the traditional installing way, delamination and low efficiencies are troublesome. Therefore, excellent quality and cost effective installing metallic inserts into the CFRP laminates remains a challenge. In this paper, a series of experiments were carried out to study the compatibility for metallic inserts bonded into the CFRP laminates soaked in the aircraft fuel. The experimental results show that the push-out values and breakaway torque values of metallic inserts bonded in the CFRP laminates soaked in the fuel are not reduced compared with these values of sample was not prepared in that way.

With very few exceptions, the basic structure of the 9+2 axoneme has been well preserved over a very long period of evolution from protozoa to mammais. This stability indicates that the basic structural components of the axoneme visible by electron microscopy, as well as most of the other unidentified components, have withstood the passage of time. It also means that components of the 9+2 axoneme have sufficient diversity in function to accommodate the various types of motility patterns encountered in different species of flagella. Several of the 200 polypeptides that constitute the axoneme have been identified as components of the dynein arms, radial spokes etc. but many more remain to be identified and their function(s) remain to be determined. Because this review deals with the regulation of flagellar movement at the axonemal level, it does not include regulation of flagella by extracellular factors unless these factors have a direct action on axonemal components. In this context, it is very important firstly to understand the structural components of the axoneme and how they influence and regulate axonemal movement. Different primitive organisms are mentioned in this review since major breakthroughs in our understanding of how an axoneme generates different types of movement have been made through their study. Despite some variations in structure and function of axonemal components, the basic mechanisms involved in the regulation of flagella from Chlamydomonas or sea urchin spermatozoa should also apply to the more evolved mammalian species, including human spermatozoa.
