In the last decades, technologically innovative processes performed in advanced materials such as Carbon Fibre (CF) and Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) have continuously increased because of these materials find increasingly applications in the most of the industrial sectors, particularly in aeronautical industry. This is caused by their excellent relationship weight/mechanical properties. Although there is a high trend to apply and develop non-conventional technologies and methods for machining CF and MMC, other common machining processes are commonly applied for working these materials. Thus, in aeronautical industry, mechanical drilling processes are usually applied for preparing the manufactured elements to be assembled. However, drilling of CF based materials can carry on troubles related to a loss of surface finishing quality and/or quick and high tool wear. This work reports on the results about an evaluation process of the surface quality of drilled CF samples as a function of the cutting conditions and the tool materials.

Hybrid stacks structures Composite/Metallic Alloy are commonly applied for manufacturing of structural components in different industrial sectors. Particularly, they are increasingly widely used in the aerospace industry because of these materials combine light weight with a high mechanical resistance. This fact helps to increase the load without needing to increment — even diminishing — the energetic consumption. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRC) and light alloys, such as Aluminium or Titanium based alloys, are usually combined for performing those stacks. CFRC/Alloy stacks based airship structural elements commonly require drilling operations for the posterior assembly tasks. However, the machining processes of Non-Metal Matrix Composites (NMMC), and particularly CFRC, show significant differences with the machining processes of metallic materials. Because of this, it is very difficult to find a joint only one of cutting parameters for drilling these structures using One Shot Drilling (OSD) techniques. In this work, a study of the cutting forces developed in the dry-OSD of CFRC/UNS A92024 stacks has been achieved as a function of the cutting speed and feedrate parameters. Dry drilling tests have been performed using different parameters for drilling CFRC and alloy. A change of the parameters in the interface between CFRC and the alloy has been programmed through a CAM software. Higher cutting force values have been observed in the case of the Aluminium alloys. For both materials, obtained results have shown a strong increase of the cutting force with the increase of feedrate. However, only a slight increase with cutting speed has been observed. The evolution of the cutting force as a function of the holes number has shown a trend to increase only for highest feedrates when CFRC/Alloy is drilled. From the obtained results a F(f,v) model has been proposed.

The monitoring of surface finishing processes in aerospace manufacturing industry becomes one of key issues to maintain the overall quality of product or part. To date, the surface quality monitoring post machining processes such as deburring, use visual inspection, surface roughness test or laser gap gun. The whole manufacturing process then requires a considerable amount of time as the production line must be halted due to these measurements taking place. This study presents an online monitoring system to measure the chamfer quality of replica boss hole post-deburring process. Vibration signal was measured during the deburring process and the features that correlate to the deburring stages (passes) were extracted. This paper focuses on the validation of actual vibration signal with the modal analysis of work coupon (replica boss hole) to obtain the correlation between the vibration amplitude level on particular region and the mode shape of work coupon during the deburring process.

In recent times, we are witnessing the technological revolution which provides access to tremendous changes in all the fields including the industrial sectors. The notable benefit of the modern technology is quick accomplishment of complex tasks within a short span of time, which has motivated the manufacturers to imbibe novelty techniques in the production process to enhance the quality of the product so as to retain its market position amidst the competitors. As globalization has gained more concern, the manufacturers employ internet advertising strategy to elevate the product to international level and to propagate the attributes of the products to the customers residing worldwide. In this paper an EPQ inventory model is developed in which the associated costs of technology, acquisition of local and international customers via internet advertising costs are included, a numerical example is also presented to validate the model.

Abstract:: Surgery to repair damaged tissue, which is caused by disease or trauma, is being carried out all the time, and a desirable treatment is compelling need to regenerate damaged tissues to further improve the quality of human health. Therefore, more and more research focus on exploring the most suitable bionic design to enrich available treatment methods. 3D-printing, as an advanced materials processing approach, holds promising potential to create prototypes with complex constructs that could reproduce primitive tissues and organs as much as possible or provide appropriate cell-material interfaces. In a sense, 3D printing promises to bridge between tissue engineering and bionic design, which can provide an unprecedented personalized recapitulation with biomimetic function under the precise control of the composition and spatial distribution of cells and biomaterials. This article describes recent progress in 3D bionic design and the potential application prospect of 3D printing regenerative medicine including 3D printing biomimetic scaffolds and 3D cell printing in tissue engineering.

Biomedical engineering seeks to enhance the quality of life by developing advanced materials and technologies. Chitosan-based biomaterials have attracted significant attention because of having unique chemical structures with desired biocompatibility and biodegradability, which play different roles in membranes, sponges and scaffolds, along with promising biological properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Therefore, chitosan derivatives have been widely used in a vast variety of uses, chiefly pharmaceuticals and biomedical engineering. It is attempted here to draw a comprehensive overview of chitosan emerging applications in medicine, tissue engineering, drug delivery, gene therapy, cancer therapy, ophthalmology, dentistry, bio-imaging, bio-sensing and diagnosis. The use of Stem Cells (SCs) has given an interesting feature to the use of chitosan so that regenerative medicine and therapeutic methods have benefited from chitosan-based platforms. Plenty of the most recent discussions with stimulating ideas in this field are covered that could hopefully serve as hints for more developed works in biomedical engineering.

The hypothesis posed was whether being part of a football/soccer team influenced the quality of life (QL) of the people who participated in it since their perception of themselves is enhanced by factors, such as self-determination, social inclusion, emotional well-being, physical well-being, material well-being, rights, personal development, and internal relationships. The objective was to evaluate the QL of people with Down Syndrome (DS) using their self-perception (n = 39) and the perception of the informants (family members, teachers) (n = 39). The KidsLife-Down Scale, with a few modifications, was used. In general, differences of opinion between the subgroups of participants with DS and informants showed that results were higher in terms of perception for participants in the DS subgroup. Scores for all variables were higher for those participants with DS who said they did engage in practicing competitive football/soccer. Although the perception of informants provides a great deal of information regarding the QL of participants with DS, participants with DS should also be involved in the evaluation process and their self-perceptions taken into account. It is not participating in a football team that causes the conclusions of the study, but training (which includes the friendly matches that are played), the cause correlated with the improvements detected in the athlete’s DS.

The TiC particles in titanium metal matrix composites (TiMMCs) make them difficult to machine. As a specific MMC, it is legitimate to wonder if the cutting mechanisms of TiMMCs are the same as or similar to those of MMCs. For this purpose, the tool wear mechanisms for turning, milling, and grinding are reviewed in this paper and compared with those for other MMCs. In addition, the chip formation and morphology, the material removal mechanism and surface quality are discussed for the different machining processes and examined thoroughly. Comparisons of the machining mechanisms between the TiMMCs and MMCs indicate that the findings for other MMCs should not be taken for granted for TiMMCs for the machining processes reviewed. The increase in cutting speed leads to a decrease in roughness value during grinding and an increase of the tool life during turning. Unconventional machining such as laser-assisted turning is effective to increase tool life. Under certain conditions, a “wear shield” was observed during the early stages of tool wear during turning, thereby increasing tool life considerably. The studies carried out on milling showed that the cutting parameters affecting surface roughness and tool wear are dependent on the tool material. The high temperatures and high shears that occur during machining lead to microstructural changes in the workpiece during grinding, and in the chips during turning. The adiabatic shear band (ASB) of the chips is the seat of the sub-grains’ formation. Finally, the cutting speed and lubrication influenced dust emission during turning but more studies are needed to validate this finding. For the milling or grinding, there are major areas to be considered for thoroughly understanding the machining behavior of TiMMCs (tool wear mechanisms, chip formation, dust emission, etc.).

AbstractRecent developments in the engineering industry have created a demand for advanced materials with superior mechanical properties and high-quality surface finishes. Some of the conventional finishing methods such as lapping, grinding, honing, and polishing are now being replaced by non-conventional finishing processes. Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is a non-conventional superfinishing process in which magnetic abrasive particles interact with a magnetic field in the finishing zone to remove materials to achieve very high surface finishing and deburring simultaneously. In this review paper, the working principles, processing parameters, and current limitations for the MAF process are examined via reviewing important work in the literature. Additionally, future developments of the MAF process are discussed.
