CAD Based Predictive Models of the Undeformed Chip Geometry in Drilling
Twist drills are geometrical complex tools and thus various researchers have adopted different mathematical and experimental approaches for their simulation. The present paper acknowledges the increasing use of modern CAD systems and using the API (Application Programming Interface) of a CAD system, drilling simulations are carried out. The developed DRILL3D software routine, creates parametrically controlled tool geometries and using different cutting conditions, achieves the generation of solid models for all the relevant data involved (drilling tool, cut workpiece, undeformed chip). The final data derived, consist a platform for further direct simulations regarding the determination of cutting forces, tool wear, drilling optimizations etc. Keywords—Drilling, CAD based simulation, 3D-modelling.
Trends in the Development of Machinery and Associated Technology ” TMT 2013 , Istanbul , Turkey , 10-11 September 2013 GEOMETRIC MODELING OF TWIST DRILLS
Accurate geometric models of twist drills are needed to determine the required grinding wheel profile for generating a given drill flute profile design, as well as, for finite element simulations of the drilling process. This paper presents a method to create accurate models of two-flute conical twist drills using analytical equations to generate drill flute profile needed for production of twist drills with straight lips and solidmodelling techniques to generate geometric models of twist drills. Boolean operations are used to mimic the drill manufacturing steps and generate the fully designed drill.
Evaluation of Impact of Yarn Count and Stitch Length on Pilling, Abrasion, Shrinkage and Tightness Factor of 1 ? 1 Rib Cotton Knitted Fabrics
This study investigates the impact of yarn count and stitch length of 100% cotton knitted fabrics. 1 × 1 ribs structured fabrics were used in this research work. The stitch length 2.50 mm, 2.52 mm, 2.60 mm, 2.70 mm, 2.80 mm and 2.96 mm were used of the yarn count of 26Ne, 28Ne and 36Ne. The areal densities of the grey fabrics were in various amounts. The impacts of yarn count and stitch length were measured concerning pilling resistance, abrasion resistance, and shrinkage and tightness factor. The result showed that the fabric pilling grade decreased while number of cycle increased. Abrasion resistance decreased but length wise shrinkage increased despite the fact that the stitch length increased. The results also exposed that the tightness factor of the fabric increased with the increase of the stitch length in both dyeing and washing state and finished state compared to grey state for the yarn count 26Ne and homogeneous result not found for yarn count 28Ne and 36 Ne.
