Dr Alan Smith| Subject Overview: | Subject consists of two units. The first is principally concerned with analysis of material removal processes in a consistent and predictive manner, and machine tools, the second with dimensional measurement science and its application to the solution of mechanical and manufacturing engineering measurement problems. Topics covered may include for unit 1: principles, performance characteristics and process selection of manufacturing processes; overview of casting, moulding and other forming, bulk deformation processes, material removal, finishing and fabrication; chip formation and mechanics of cutting; turning operations, single point lathe tools; prediction of force, torque power, chip flow and surface finish in turning; tool life characteristics and determination; optimisation analyses for turning; application of the Unified General Mechanics of Machining Approach to drilling, milling or form tools; abrasive processes; specification and inspection of machine tools. Unit 2: length, angle and form tolerances; standards; statistical estimation of measurement error; gauging and measurement systems design; lasers, interferometry and collimation; measurement of surface finish; computer controlled co-ordinate measuring machines. |
