A significant number of existing flat slabs currently require strengthening against punching shear for safety reasons (the increase of applied loads and deficiencies during design or construction) or to comply with more stringent code requirements. Availab ...
Spark-assisted chemical engraving (SACE) is a flexible, simple and inexpensive method for machining electrically non-conductive materials. SACE is particularly interesting because of the high drilling speed that can be achieved compared to other micromachi ...
The rigid body motion of thin walled parts and their elastic-plastic deformations induced during high speed milling are the main root causes of part geometrical and dimensional variabilities; these are governed mainly from the choice of process plan parame ...
Gravity-feed drilling is the most commonly used method for micro-hole drilling in glass with spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE). This paper proposes a method allowing the systematic characterization of this drilling method. The influences of voltage, ...
The parallel kinematics machine tool HITA-STT (Stiffness Tracking Technology) developed by Willemin–Machines S.A. and EPFL is now able to machine. This machine can reach accelerations of 5g. It is characterized by a tilt of ± 60° around the B-axis. This ch ...
