Manufacturing systems — Practical Application

This course covers a comprehensive understanding of non-linear vibration in manufacturing processes, particularly in turning operations. It explores the vibration of the tool and workpiece, deriving the equation of motion, and methods to solve it. For instance, the course delves into the application of non-linear vibration in cold rolling mills and artificial muscles, discussing the concept of chatter, its parameters, and ways to mitigate it. The course also introduces the concept of delay and internal resonance, and the impact of passive and active vibration absorber on the manufacturing process. It concludes with a detailed explanation of using the method of multiple scales to solve the governing equation of motion and determine the system's stability.
