This study investigated the influence of the moisture content and speed on the cutting force and energy of tannia cormels using the response surface methodology (RSM). The moisture content and cutting speed were varied over five levels each [95.79, 113.68, 136.68, 168.42, 242.11% moisture content (dry basis) and 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 mm×min<sup>–1</sup>, respectively]. The highest and lowest cutting forces were 114.09 and 63.99 N at the corresponding moisture contents of 168.42 and 113.68% and at cutting speeds of 10 and 20 mm×min<sup>–1</sup>, respectively. The highest and lowest cutting energies of 0.92 and 0.49 J were both obtained at a 136.68% moisture content, at the 10 and 20 mm×min<sup>–1</sup> cutting speeds, respectively. The regression models for predicting the cutting force and energy as a function of the cutting speed and moisture content showed that there was no linear relationship between the investigated properties and the independent variables considered which could be attributed to the non-homogeneous nature of tannia cormels. The optimum cutting force and energy were 72.89 N and 0.60 J, respectively, at a 95.79% moisture content and a 22.33 mm×min<sup>–1 </sup>speed with a desirability of 0.80. These findings could serve as a guide for the development of chipping and cutting machines for tannia cormels.

In this research, we had studied the sensitivity for machining of cobalt-based superalloy Haynes 188 with ceramic cutting tool. The investigation had focused on the effects of the cutting speed, on the cutting forces, and on the surface roughness based on Taguchi’s experimental design. The effects of machining parameters were determined using Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array. The signal-to-noise ratio was calculated for the average of surface roughness and the cutting forces, and the smaller were used to determine the optimal cutting conditions. The analysis of variance and the signal-to-noise ratio had effects on the parameters on both surface roughness and cutting. Three different types of cutting tools had been used in the experiment, namely KYON 4300, KYS 25, and KYS 30. The cutting force of Fz was considered to be the main cutting force. Depending on the material which had been used as cutting tool, the Fz had the lowest cutting speed and the lowest surface roughness with the KYS25 ceramic tool. The cutting force and the surface roughness of KYON 4300 cutting tool had shown better performance than other cutting tools. The flank wear and notch were found to be more effective in the experiments. The long chips were removed at low and medium cutting speeds, while the sawdust with one edge and narrow pitch at high cutting speeds was obtained.

The influence of vibrations on the process of cheese cutting applied in order to reduce friction and the cutting force was studied. The forces needed to cut through the cheese samples were measured against the variations of the temperature, cutting speed, and vibration frequency. The hypothesis which induced the research work was that assisting vibrations reduce the cutting forces and make the cutting easier for the user. In the experiments,Goudacheese was used at 10&deg;C and 22&deg;C. The further, a conventional kitchen knife was used with four different cutting speeds from 12.5&nbsp;mm/s to 75&nbsp;mm/s and six vibration frequencies from 0 Hz to 150 Hz. The results confirmed the hypothesis presuming that up to 3.4 times lower forces are needed to cut through a cheese sample at 22&deg;C, and 1.55 times lower when cutting cheese samples at 10&deg;C. The results also confirmed the already known facts that the cutting forces increase with increasing cutting velocity, 2&ndash;4 times on average with cutting at 75 mm/s instead of 12.5 mm/s. Also, 2.5, times lower cutting forces were measured in cutting the cheese sample at 22&deg;C instead at 10&deg;C. &nbsp;

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.

Summary The aim of this work was to separately evaluate the effects of pectinase and cellulase on the viscosity of pitanga juice, and determine the optimum conditions for their use employing response surface methodology. The independent variables were pectinase concentration (0-2.0 mg.g–1) and cellulase concentration (0-1.0 mg.g–1), activity time (10-110 min) and incubation temperature (23.2-56.8 °C). The use of pectinase and cellulase reduced the viscosity by about 15% and 25%, respectively. The results showed that enzyme concentration was the most important factor followed by activity time, and for the application of cellulase the incubation temperature had a significant effect too. The regression models showed correlation coefficients (R2) near to 0.90. The pectinase application conditions that led to the lowest viscosity were: concentration of 1.7 mg.g–1, incubation temperature of 37.6 °C and incubation time of 80 minutes, while for cellulase the values were: concentration of 1.0 mg.g-1, temperature range of 25 °C to 35 °C and incubation time of 110 minutes.

Abstract. Ultrasound-assisted cutting has been used to cut materials with high precision, improved quality and reduced cutting forces. The research objective was to investigate the effects of high-frequency vibrations on the cutting force and cutting energy of switchgrass and miscanthus stems. Laboratory experiments were conducted on individual biomass stems at cutting speeds between 3 and 400 mm/s. An experimental cutting system with an ultrasound generator, an ultrasonic blade, a load cell, and a data acquisition system was developed. The custom designed blade was 5-cm wide and vibrated at 19.551 kHz with 2.8 µm tip vibration amplitude. There were significant measured differences in the cutting forces and cutting energies between conventional cutting and ultrasonic cutting of switchgrass and miscanthus stems (p &lt; 0.05). These results suggest that the use of high-frequency vibrations reduce cutting force and cutting energy of both switchgrass and miscanthus stems. Ultrasound-assisted cutting reduced the cutting energy of switchgrass by 66.85% at 100 mm/s and miscanthus by 80.58% at 30 mm/s. However, ultrasonic cutting did not have a significant effect on the cutting force and cutting energy when the cutting speed was equal to or greater than the blade tip vibration speed. The results of this research should be useful for adapting the ultrasonic technology in biomass harvesting, particle size reduction, and processing equipment. Keywords: Biomass, Blades, Energy, Finite element analysis, Miscanthus, Switchgrass, Ultrasonics.

Advancement in machining technology of curved surfaces for various engineering applications is increasing. Various methodologies and computer tools have been developed by the manufacturers to improve efficiency of freeform surface machining. Selection of the right sets of cutter path strategies and appropriate cutting conditions is extremely important in ensuring high productivity rate, meeting the better quality level, and lower cutting forces. In this paper, cutting force as a new decision criterion for the best selection of tool paths on convex surfaces is presented. Therefore, this work aims at studying and analyzing different finishing strategies to assess their influence on surface texture, cutting forces, and machining time. Design and analysis of experiments are performed by means of Taguchi technique and analysis of variance. In addition, the significant parameters affecting the cutting force in each strategy are introduced. Machining strategies employed include raster, 3D-offset, radial, and spiral. The cutting parameters were feed rate, cutting speed, and step over. The experiments were carried out on low curvature convex surfaces of stainless steel 1.4903. The conclusion is that radial strategy provokes the best surface texture and the lowest cutting forces and spiral strategy signifies the worst surface texture and the highest cutting forces.

Cutting forces is one of the important physical phenomena in metal cutting process. It directly affects the surface quality of machining, tool life and cutting stability. The orthogonal experiments of cutting forces and influence factors with indexable and solid end mill were accomplished and the predictive model of milling force was established during high speed end milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy. The paper makes research mainly on the influence which the cutting speed, cutting depth and feed have on the cutting force. The experimental results of single factor showed that the cutting forces increase earlier and drop later with the increase of cutting speed, and the cutting speed of inflexion for 7050-T7451 is 1100m/min. As axial cutting depth, radial cutting depth and feed rate increase, the cutting force grows in different degree. The cutting force is particularly sensitive to axial cutting depth and slightly to the radial cutting depth.

Based on the experiment of turning aluminium alloy (7075-T651), the relations between the fractal dimensions of cutting forces with machining parameters are studied. Cutting speed, feed speed and cutting depth are considered as the process parameters. The cutting force in turning aluminium alloy operation are measured and the fractal dimension are calculated using the algorithm of correlation dimension. From main effect plots the fractal dimensions of three directions of cutting forces are reduced with the increase of cutting speed, increased with the increase of cutting depth and insignificant with the increase of feed speed. The mathematic models of fractal dimension of cutting force are developed using response surface methodology (RSM). The results of the ANOVA show that cutting speed and cutting depth have remarkable influence to fractal dimension Dx, Dy and Dz.

The roundness is one of the most important criteria to accept the mechanical parts in the CNC turning process. The relations of the roundness, the cutting conditions and the cutting forces in CNC turning is hence studied in this research. The dynamometer is installed on the turret of the CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting force signals. The cutting parameters are investigated to analyze the effects of them on the roundness which are the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, the tool nose radius and the rake angle. The experimentally obtained results showed that the better roundness is obtained with an increase in cutting speed, tool nose radius and rake angle. The relation between the cutting parameters and the roundness can be explained by the in-process cutting forces. It is understood that the roundness can be monitored by using the in-process cutting forces.

In machining operation of mould cavities, the tool travels in various straight and corner profiles following predetermined toolpath. Such condition results in a fluctuation of cutting forces that may produce bad surface finish. The objective of this study is to investigate the most influential parameters on cutting operation for both straight and corner profiles of pocketing operation. Cutting speeds of 150, 200 and 250m/min, feedrates from 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 mm/tooth and depths of cut of 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mm were selected for the cutting processes. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array with Pareto ANOVA analysis was employed to analyze the effects of the selected parameters. The result demonstrates there are different effects of cutting parameters on cutting forces for straight and corner profiles. Furthermore, it was found that cutting speed and feedrate are prevailing factors that affected cutting forces for both types of profile.
