    Investigation of the Combined Effects of Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining and Minimum Quantity Lubrication on Al7075-T6
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2024) Namlu, R.H.; Cetin, B.; Lotfi, B.; Kiliç, S.E.
    The aluminum alloy Al7075-T6 finds extensive application in the aviation and automotive industries, where machining plays a pivotal role. Emerging techniques such as Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining (UVAM) and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) hold promise for enhancing machining efficiency. In this study, the combined use of UVAM and MQL for slot milling of Al7075-T6 was investigated. The results demonstrate that UVAM reduced cutting forces by an average of 10.87% in MQL and 8.31% in Conventional Cutting Fluid (CCF) conditions when compared to Conventional Machining (CM). In addition, UVAM yielded significantly improved surface finishes, characterized by an average reduction in surface roughness of 41.86% in MQL and 32.11% in CCF conditions relative to CM. Furthermore, surfaces subjected to UVAM exhibited fewer instances of burn marks and tool-induced markings, reduced chip splashing, and more uniform surface integrity compared to those manufactured with CM. Lastly, chips generated through UVAM exhibited distinct characteristics, notably shorter length, curvier shape, and a distinctive half-turn morphology when compared with the irregular chips produced through CM. In conclusion, our findings underscore the potential of UVAM in synergy with MQL to augment the machining of Al7075-T6 alloy, thereby yielding superior-quality machined components with enhanced operational efficiency. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    On stress-strength reliability with a time-dependent strength
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2013) Eryilmaz,S.
    The study of stress-strength reliability in a time-dependent context needs to model at least one of the stress or strength quantities as dynamic. We study the stress-strength reliability for the case in which the strength of the system is decreasing in time and the stress remains fixed over time; that is, the strength of the system is modeled as a stochastic process and the stress is considered to be a usual random variable. We present stochastic ordering results among the lifetimes of the systems which have the same strength but are subjected to different stresses. Multicomponent form of the aforementioned stress-strength interference is also considered. We illustrate the results for the special case when the strength is modeled by a Weibull process. © 2013 Serkan Eryilmaz.
