A Complete Reference Covering the Latest Technology in Metal Cutting Tools, Processes,
and Equipment Metal Cutting Theory and Practice, Third Edition shapes the future of …

A review of the recent development of the machining fixture configuration/layout is presented
in this paper. The literature review is mainly focused on the recently developed optimal …

Workpiece motion arising from localised elastic deformation at fixture-workpiece contacts
owing to clamping and machining forces is known to affect significantly the workpiece …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state process, leading to joints with good mechanical
performance. Low residual stresses and distortions are generally mentioned as further …

Fixtures are an essential part of manufacturing production. This book covers computer-aided
fixture design, fixture clamping synthesis and optimisation, workpiece-fixture interaction …

This paper presents a fixture layout and clamping force optimal synthesis approach that
accounts for workpiece dynamics during machining. The dynamic model is based on the …

The machining force and torque exerted on a workpiece vary as the cutter moves along the
tool path, therefore a dynamic approach is essential for fixturing stability analysis. This paper …

Both proper fixture design and optimum fixturing execution are crucial to workpiece quality
assurance in manufacturing. This paper deals with an integrated approach to fixturing …

Geometric deviation associated with the assembly of sheet metal is a general concern for
manufacturers. The typical assembly step involves a sequence of events that exert forces on …

Workpiece geometric error, locator geometric error, and clamping error are factors that
influence workpiece setup in workpiece fixturing. These errors accumulate and propagate …
