Article Citation - WoS: 113Citation - Scopus: 147Experiments and Finite Element Simulations on Micro-Milling of Ti-6al Alloy With Uncoated and Cbn Coated Micro-Tools(Elsevier, 2011) Oezel, T.; Thepsonthi, T.; Ulutan, D.; Kaftanoglu, B.This paper presents experimental investigations and finite element simulations on micro-milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with fine grain uncoated and cBN coated micro-end mills. Micro-milling of Ti-6Al-4V using uncoated and cBN coated tungsten carbide micro-end mills are conducted; surface roughness, burr formation and tool wear are measured. Effects of machining parameters on surface roughness, burr formation, and tool wear for uncoated and cBN coated micro-tools are investigated. Finite element modelling is utilized to predict forces, temperatures, and wear rate for uncoated and cBN coated micro-tools. Predicted temperature and tool wear contours for uncoated and cBN coated micro-tool edges reveal advantages of cBN coatings. Optimization studies on the experimental results are also conducted to identify the optimum process parameters which minimize both surface roughness and burr formation concurrently. (C) 2011 CIRP.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 176Citation - Scopus: 220Investigations on the Effects of Multi-Layered Coated Inserts in Machining Ti-6al Alloy With Experiments and Finite Element Simulations(Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Ozel, T.; Sima, M.; Srivastava, A. K.; Kaftanoglu, B.This paper presents investigations on turning Ti-6Al-4V alloy with multi-layer coated inserts. Turning of Ti-6Al-4V using uncoated, TiAlN coated, and TiAlN + cBN coated single and multi-layer coated tungsten carbide inserts is conducted, forces and tool wear are measured. 3D finite element modelling is utilized to predict chip formation, forces, temperatures and tool wear on these inserts. Modified material models with strain softening effect are developed to simulate chip formation with finite element analysis and investigate temperature fields for coated inserts. Predicted forces and tool wear contours are compared with experiments. The temperature distributions and tool wear contours demonstrate some advantages of coated insert designs.

The FE analyses were carried out at the end of construction (EOC) and the end of first filling of reservoir. The proposed method was calibrated by using continuously monitored vertical displacement of the dam's body to determine the mobilized modulus of elasticity of the rockfills at the EOC. The prediction capability of the method was demonstrated using field measurements against the findings from the 2-D FE analysis simulating characteristics of construction stages of the dam. The validity of the method was also examined on another membrane-faced rockfill dam by comparing the geodetic measurements of vertical displacement measurements of the dam's body with the calculated vertical displacements from 2-D FE analysis at the EOC.
