Modeling of a turning tool holder with finite elements and simulation of its free vibration frequencies by Jaafar, Israd Hakim, Shaik Dawood, Mohd. Sultan Ibrahim, Amin, A. K. M. Nurul, Shah, Qasim Hussain

“…This latter difference is unavoidable, due to the experimental test setup whereby the tool holder is clamped within the fixture with only 2 pins as opposed to the more rigid boundary condition applied to the finite element model, whereby the whole holder length within the carriage is rigidly supported at the element nodes. …”

Effects of selective laser melting parameters on relative density of AlSi10Mg by Ahmed, Aqeel, Raus, Azli Amin, Wahab, Md Saidin, Kamarudin, Khairu

“…In this work, the effects on the relative density is investigated for SLM-produced AlSi10Mg parts on one factor at a time (OFAT) basis by keeping constant various parameters such as laser power, scanning speed and hatching distance. It is shown that AlSi10Mg parts produced by SLM having best relative density values are at 350 watt laser power, 1650 mm/s of scanning speed and hatching distance of 0.13mm.…”
