Tool life prediction in end milling using a combination of machining simulation and tool wear progress data by Rei MATSUMURA, Isamu NISHIDA, Keiichi SHIRASE

“…First, the relationship between machining conditions and tool wear progress was investigated via dry cutting experiments conducted using a 8.0dia. cobalt high-speed steel square end mill as the tool and a piece of SS400 steel as the work material under different spindle speeds, feed rates, and radial depths of cut. From the obtained results, a linear relationship was found between the cutting edge/workpiece contact length, and the flank wear width regardless of different cutting conditions. …”

Evidencing Fluid Migration of the Crust during the Seismic Swarm by Using 1D Magnetotelluric Monitoring by Carlos A. Vargas, Alexander Caneva, Juan M. Solano, Adriana M. Gulisano, Jaime Villalobos

“…Anomalies of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ρ</mi><mi>a</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> were detected almost simultaneously with the beginning of a seismic crisis in the Bransfield Strait, south of King George Island (approximately 85.000 events were reported close to the Orca submarine volcano, with focal depths < 20 km and M_WW < 6.9). We explained the origin of these anomalies in response to fluid migration near the place of the fractures linked with the seismic swarm, which could promote disturbances of the pore pressure field that reached some hundreds of km away.…”
