Smart structures: a study of an MR fluid-based machine element
thesis
posted on 2018-08-10, 11:25 authored by Vianney Lara PrietoWith increasing market demands and new technology advances, manufacturing is
aspiring to achieve automation with high productivity and improved precision and
control. As a result, extensive research aiming to improve the performance of
machining processes can be found. Undesired vibration within precision
manufacturing processes is a major source of poor surface finish, increased tool wear,
and poor dimensional accuracy. Chatter, i.e. self-excited vibration, is considered one
of the critical sources of vibration that unfavourably affects the quality and
productivity of high-speed manufacturing processes.
This research investigates the controllability of the vibration characteristics of
magnetorheological (MR) structures as a precursor to a future vibration control
system. [Continues.]
