Article Citation - Scopus: 6Modelling and Analysis of Tool Deflections in Tailored Micro End Mills(Inderscience Publishers, 2019) Bavil Oliaei,S.N.; Karpat,Y.The deflection of micro end mills has a detrimental effect on surface quality of the machined micro components and adversely affects the achievable dimensional and geometrical tolerances. In this paper, the analysis and modelling of tool deflections of tailored micro end mills have been considered. The tool deflections are obtained using analytical models as well as finite element simulations and verified using a dedicated measurement setup, which uses a capacitive sensor with a nanometre resolution for static tool deflection measurements. The optimisation of the micro end mill geometry has been performed to determine optimum neck taper angle and transition radius of the single edge micro end mill to have minimum tool deflections. With the developed model, tool failure predictions for a given process parameter set can be performed and it can be used for better micro milling process planning.

This study provides investigations on micro-grooves fabricated on the rake face of tungsten carbide inserts (WC/Co) that were used in turning titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V under dry conditions. Tool inserts included varying micro-groove width (50∼100 μm), depth (10∼30 μm) and spacing (15∼100 μm). In the experiments, a constant depth of cut and a cutting speed were used. The effect of micro-textured tool surfaces on cutting force and tool wear was found to be significant. © 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.Article Citation - Scopus: 48Identifying Phishing Attacks in Communication Networks Using Url Consistency Features(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Azeez,N.A.; Salaudeen,B.B.; Misra,S.; Damasevicius,R.; Maskeliunas,R.Phishing is a fraudulent attempt by cybercriminals, where the target audience is addressed by a text message, phone call or e-mail, requesting classified and sensitive information after presenting himself/herself as a legitimate agent. Successful phishing attack may result into financial loss and identity theft. Identifying forensic characteristics of phishing attack can help to detect the attack and its perpetuators and as well as to enable defence against it. To shield internet users from phishing assaults, numerous anti-phishing models have been proposed. Currently employed techniques to handle these challenges are not sufficient and capable enough. We aim at identifying phishing sites in order to guard internet users from being vulnerable to any form of phishing attacks by verifying the conceptual and literal consistency between the uniform resource locator (URL) and the web content. The implementation of the proposed PhishDetect method achieves an accuracy of 99.1%; indicating that it is effective in detecting various forms of phishing attacks. © 2020 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study to address the material removal rate (MRR) and surface integrity of Ni55.8Ti shape memory superalloy (SMA) in the μ-WEDM process. The effects of discharge current, pulse on-time, pulse off-time, and servo voltage on the performance of this process, including MRR, white layer thickness, surface roughness, and micro-hardness of the machined surface, were investigated by multi-regression analysis using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimisation of input parameters based on the gradient and the swarm optimisation algorithms were also conducted to maximise the MRR and minimise the white layer thickness, surface roughness, and micro-hardness of the machined samples. © 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..

However, the cutting of Ti-6Al-4V is challenging due to its poor machinability. Recently, ultrasonic cavitation-assisted machining (UCAM) has emerged as a cutting process that utilises high-frequency and low-amplitude vibrations to induce the formation of cavitation bubbles, thereby improving cutting performance. Despite the benefits of UCAM, there is lack of research investigating its application in Ti-6Al-4V. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of UCAM in improving the cutting performance of Ti-6Al-4V and compare it with conventional methods. Specifically, the study compares UCAM with conventional machining (CM) under conventional cutting fluid. The study reveals that UCAM can reduce cutting forces by up to 49.5% and surface roughness by up to 51.9%. Additionally, UCAM yields more uniform, homogeneous surfaces with reduced surface damage compared to CM. These results demonstrate the potential of UCAM for enhancing cutting performance of Ti-6Al-4V.

Therefore, it is a great challenge to find an optimum solution for tool wear. In that sense, tool coatings provide various solutions for machining of hard materials or improving wear resistance. A cost-effective tool coating provides longer tool life, hence decreases the tool cost contribution in production. Boron nitride (BN) coating could be thought as a new generation coating method compared to titanium nitride (TiN), aluminium titanium nitride (AlTiN) or silicon aluminium oxy-nitride (SiAlON). BN coating material has a great strength, toughness and chemical stability whereas it has an important disadvantage of high intrinsic stress. In this industrial study, standard end mill cutters are coated with BN material by physical vapour deposition (PVD) method. The coated and uncoated milling tools are compared according to their wear resistance and the obtained workpiece surface roughness. First results of the study are presented in this paper. © 2017 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.Article Citation - Scopus: 2An Environmentally Friendly Method of Cutting and Forming of Materials by Boron Nitride Coated Tools(Inderscience Publishers, 2014) Kaftanoǧlu,B.; Dökmetaş,N.To decrease the undesirable effects on global warming and environmental pollution, manufacturing techniques should aim to use less energy, generate less pollution to the environment and aim at higher performance in shaping and cutting materials. In this paper, a new coating technique is presented for cutting and forming tools so that they can withstand higher temperatures, preserve their surface quality and cutting edge longer and require minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) and achieve a longer life. It is known that coolants used in manufacturing cause environmental problems and their processing raises the manufacturing cost. Therefore, MQL or dry cutting is preferred if the tool material can withstand the high temperatures. A new technology of boron nitride (BN) coating using a physical vapour deposition (PVD) system is developed. BN coatings are applied on cutting tools and forming dies. Experiments and industrial applications show an increase in tool life. MQL and manufacturing at higher temperatures can be used due to the stability of BN.

Various coatings applications on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, titanium and copper have shown good adhesion. Quality is checked by coating thickness, nanohardness, scratch testing, AFM, SEM and FTIR measurements. BN coating is also applied on specimens and tools which have been previously coated by titanium nitride (TiN). FTIR results show that different allotropes (polymorphs) of BN are produced by different coating parameters. From industrial tests, extended life and improved performance is obtained for tools and dies in manufacturing applications. © 2014 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.Article Citation - Scopus: 7The Determinants of E-Tourism Websites for Tourists While Selecting a Travel Destination(Inderscience Publishers, 2022) Chatterjee,S.; Majumdar,D.; Misra,S.; Damasevicius,R.The purpose of this article is to identify the determinants of the e-tourism websites for tourists to select their travel destinations. Based on the review of the literature, a conceptual model has been developed. The model contains antecedents of e-tourism websites that could help a tourist to select the travel destination. The model has been validated statistically with a survey involving 309 usable respondents. The PLS-SEM analysis was conducted for hypotheses testing and for validation of the conceptual model. The results show that the antecedents of e-tourism websites like the ease of use, website enjoyment, perceived authenticity of websites, and perceived risk have an impact on the tourists for selection of their travel destinations. The e-tourism websites should possess special features to help travellers to accurately finalise their travel destinations. The developer of the website should design the websites to be interactive so that the viewers can enjoy while surfing the website and should be cautious towards the accuracy of the information-content so that the viewers can feel the contents authenticated. Since there are not many studies in the context of the contribution of e-tourism websites for selecting a travel destination, this study has taken an attempt to fill up this gap. © 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.Article Identifying Phishing Attacks in Communication Networks Using Url Consistency Features(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Azeez,N.A.; Salaudeen,B.B.; Misra,S.; Damasevicius,R.; Maskeliunas,R.Phishing is a fraudulent attempt by cybercriminals, where the target audience is addressed by a text message, phone call or e-mail, requesting classified and sensitive information after presenting himself/herself as a legitimate agent.
