The self-excited vibration, called chatter, is one of the main limitations in metal removal
processes. Chatter may spoil the surface of the part and can also cause large reduction in …

Abstract The field of Large-Scale Metrology has been studied extensively for many decades
and represents the combination and competition of topics as diverse as geodesy and …

A broad variety of materials can be found in modern machine tool structures ranging from
steel and cast iron to fiber reinforced composite materials. In addition, material combinations …

This paper reviews the design, engineering principles and applications of machine tools
specially developed for large parts. Large workshop machines are commonly used for …

Basic work holding devices (eg vices), fixtures and jigs are used to construct a critical
interface between a workpiece and an end-effector. This interface performs two main …

Thin− walled parts are widely used in many important fields because of performance and
structural lightweight requirements. They are critical parts because they usually carry the …

Milling of large thin walled casings with complex features needs appropriate damping
solutions to achieve required workpiece surface quality when utilising aggressive machining …

The milling of thin parts is a high added value operation where the machinist has to face the
chatter problem. The study of the stability of these operations is a complex task due to the …

During the milling process of thin-walled workpiece, chatter is the major obstacle in
achieving desired accuracy and productivity of the final part due to its low rigidity. In this …

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in metallic materials have experienced significant
growth over recent decades. Concepts such as design for additive manufacturing have …
