In this work, an online acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system is developed, to investigate the effect of tool wear during the microturning of titanium alloy with a tungsten carbide insert of nose radius 0.1 mm. The AE signal parameters were analyzed in time domain, frequency domain and discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) techniques to correlate with the tool wear status. The root mean square (AERMS) and specific AE energies are also computed for the decomposed AE signals, using the DWT. The results demonstrated that dominant frequency and DWT techniques are found to be most suitable for online tool condition monitoring, using AE sensors in the microturning of titanium alloy.

In this study, the effect of tool wear is correlated with acoustic emission (AE) signal during microendmilling of aluminium alloy (AA 1100). The AE signals were acquired using Kistler make AE sensor and the signal features are analyzed in time domain (root mean square (RMS)) and frequency domain (dominant frequency and amplitude). The dominant frequency of the AE signal shows increasing trend with increase in the tool wear, where as AERMSshow uneven trend. The discrete wavelet transformation technique (DWT) has also been carried out by decomposing the required AE signal in different frequency bands. The AERMSand specific AE energy were computed for the decomposed AE signals. From the specific AE energy, it is observed that shearing occurs during microendmilling and also found to be similar that of macro-regieme endmilling. The result demonstrated that the AE signals are potential indicator for tool condition monitoring in microendmilling.

During manufacturing, the performance of a cutting tool is largely dependent on the conditions prevailing over the tool-work interface. This is mostly dependent on the status of the cutting tool and work material. Acoustic emission studies have been performed on carbon/phenolic composite using PCD and PCBN tools for tool condition monitoring. The studies have enabled to understand the tool behaviour at different cutting speeds.

AbstractIn the present work investigation primarily focuses on identifying the presence of cutting tool vibrations during face turning process. For this purpose an online non-contact vibration transducer i. e. laser Doppler Vibrometer is used as part of a novel approach. The revisions in the values of cutting forces, vibrations and acoustic optic emission signals with cutting tool wear are recorded and analyzed. This paper presents a mathematical model in an attempt to understand tool lifeunder vibratory cutting conditions. Tool wear and cutting force data are collected in the dry machiningof AISI 1040 steel at different vibrationinduced test conditions. Identifying the correlation among tool wear, cutting forces and displacement due to vibration is a critical task in the present study. These results are used to predict the evolution of displacement and tool wear in the experiment. Specifically, the research tasks include: to provide an appropriate experimental data to prove the mathematical model of tool wear based on the influence of cutting tool vibrations in turning.The modeling is focused on demonstrating the scientific relationship between the process variables such as vibration displacement, vibration amplitude, feedrate, depth of cut and spindle speed while getting into account machine dynamics effect and the effects such as surface roughness and tool wear generated in the operation. Present work also concentrates on the improvement in machinability during vibration assisted turning with different cutting tools. The effect of work piece displacement due to vibration on the tool wear is critically analyzed. Finally, tool wear is established on the basis of the maximum displacement that can be tolerated in a process for an effective tool condition monitoring system.

A tool condition monitoring system based on support vector machine and differential evolution is proposed in this article. In this system, support vector machine is used to realize the mapping between the extracted features and the tool wear states. At the same time, two important parameters of the support vector machine which are called penalty parameter C and kernel parameter [Formula: see text] are optimized simultaneously based on differential evolution algorithm. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, a multi-tooth milling experiment of titanium alloy was carried out. Cutting force signals related to different tool wear states were collected, and several time domain and frequency domain features were extracted to depict the dynamic characteristics of the milling process. Based on the extracted features, the differential evolution-support vector machine classifier is constructed to realize the tool wear classification. Moreover, to make a comparison, empirical selection method and four kinds of grid search algorithms are also used to select the support vector machine parameters. At the same time, cross validation is utilized to improve the robustness of the classifier evaluation. The results of analysis and comparisons show that the classification accuracy of differential evolution-support vector machine is higher than empirical selection-support vector machine. Moreover, the time consumption of differential evolution-support vector machine classifier is 5 to 12 times less than that of grid search-support vector machine.
