  2. Orthogonal transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_transformation

    In finite-dimensional spaces, the matrix representation (with respect to an orthonormal basis) of an orthogonal transformation is an orthogonal matrix. Its rows are mutually orthogonal vectors with unit norm, so that the rows constitute an orthonormal basis of V. The columns of the matrix form another orthonormal basis of V.

  3. Direct stiffness method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_stiffness_method

    The first step in this process is to convert the stiffness relations for the individual elements into a global system for the entire structure. In the case of a truss element, the global form of the stiffness method depends on the angle of the element with respect to the global coordinate system (This system is usually the traditional Cartesian ...

  4. Cutting tool (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_tool_(machining)

    The cutting edge of a cutting tool is a very important for the performance of the cutting process. The main features of the cutting edge are: form of the cutting edge: radius or waterfall or trumpet (reverse waterfall) cutting edge angles; form and size of the chamfers; The measurement of the cutting edge is performed using a tactile instrument ...

  5. Ultrasonic machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_machining

    Note, rotary ultrasonic machining is efficient at drilling deep holes in ceramics because the absence of a slurry cutting fluid and the cutting tool is coated in harder diamond abrasives. [1] In addition, ultrasonic vibration machining can only be used on materials with a hardness value of at least 45 HRC .

  6. Chip formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_formation

    Chip formation is part of the process of cutting materials by mechanical means, using tools such as saws, lathes and milling cutters.. The formal study of chip formation was encouraged around World War II and shortly afterwards, with increases in the use of faster and more powerful cutting machines, particularly for metal cutting with the new high speed steel cutters.

  7. Machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

    Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting. Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing , [ 1 ] which utilizes machine tools , in contrast to additive manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing ), which uses ...

  8. Pipe Cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Cutting

    Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting . Hot cutting refers to a process in which materials are cut using a thermal torch. One of the most common techniques is oxy-fuel gas cutting, which is used extensively for cutting carbon and low-alloy steels. However, its efficiency diminishes as the alloy content of the material increases, limiting its applicability ...

  9. Michell structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michell_structures

    Michell structures are structures that are optimal based on the criteria defined by A.G.M. Michell in his frequently referenced 1904 paper. [1]Michell states that “a frame (today called truss) (is optimal) attains the limit of economy of material possible in any frame-structure under the same applied forces, if the space occupied by it can be subjected to an appropriate small deformation ...
