This dissertation provides a novel design approach with respect to ruled surface, which is a special type of surface generated by moving a line in the space. Ruled surface is a favorable choice in manufacture and can be found in many application fields. In this dissertation, a ruled surface in Euclidean space is represented as a curve on a dual unit sphere (DUS) by employing the Klein mapping and the Study mapping. A novel definition of dual spherical spline is proposed and a complete kinematic ruled surface approximation algorithm is developed and tested with turbocharger blade data. More generally, a ruled surface is defined by several control points of a dual spherical spline. It provides an initial prototype for the blade geometry optimization with ruled surface. Finally, combining the kinematic ruled surface approximation algorithm with the offset theory, a novel design and manu- facturing strategy is proposed. A desired surface is presented as a tool path of the flank milling method with a cylindrical tool in 5-axis CNC machining. It integrates the manufacturing requirements in the design phase, which can reduce the design- cycle time and save the manufacturing cost.

Metal cutting is widely used in producing manufactured products. The technology has advanced considerably along with new materials, computers and sensors. This new edition considers the scientific principles of metal cutting and their practical application to manufacturing problems. It begins with metal cutting mechanics, principles of vibration and experimental modal analysis applied to solving shop floor problems. There is in-depth coverage of chatter vibrations, a problem experienced daily by manufacturing engineers. Programming, design and automation of CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools, NC (numerical control) programming and CAD/CAM technology are discussed. The text also covers the selection of drive actuators, feedback sensors, modelling and control of feed drives, the design of real time trajectory generation and interpolation algorithms and CNC-oriented error analysis in detail. Each chapter includes examples drawn from industry, design projects and homework problems. This is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers.

This book provides a wealth of practical guidance on how to design parts to gain the maximum benefit from what additive manufacturing (AM) can offer. It begins by describing the main AM technologies and their respective advantages and disadvantages. It then examines strategic considerations in the context of designing for additive manufacturing (DfAM), such as designing to avoid anisotropy, designing to minimize print time, and post-processing, before discussing the economics of AM. The following chapters dive deeper into computational tools for design analysis and the optimization of AM parts, part consolidation, and tooling applications. They are followed by an in-depth chapter on designing for polymer AM and applicable design guidelines, and a chapter on designing for metal AM and its corresponding design guidelines. These chapters also address health and safety, certification and quality aspects. A dedicated chapter covers the multiple post-processing methods for AM, offering the reader practical guidance on how to get their parts from the AM machine into a shape that is ready to use. The book’s final chapter outlines future applications of AM. The main benefit of the book is its highly practical approach: it provides directly applicable, “hands-on” information and insights to help readers adopt AM in their industry
