Journal ArticleDOI
PCBN tool wear modes and mechanisms in finish hard turning
TL;DR: The primary wear modes of PCBN cutting tools are identified and the many theories proposed to explain the mechanisms contributing to PCBN tool wear and failure are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The validity and value of peer assessment using adaptive comparative judgement in design driven practical education
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the response of the technology teacher education programs at the University of Limerick to the assessment challenge created by the shift in philosophy of the Irish national curriculum from a craft-based focus to design-driven education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical analysis of axisymmetric wire drawing by means of a coupled damage model
P.J. McAllen,Pat Phelan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a modified damage work model has been implemented into a finite element analysis, by means of a developed Fortran subroutine, which has enabled the analysis of the occurrence of central burst defects in single and multipass wire drawing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quick check error verification of coordinate measuring machines
Emmett Curran,Pat Phelan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a quick check method for CMM performance is described, involving the use of a telescoping ball-bar, which consists of two spheres where the center distance can be adjusted, where the centre distance is being measured by a transducer or by interferometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design improvement using process capability data
Kevin Delaney,Pat Phelan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the use of historical process capability data (PCD) during the initial design stage to predict how the product will operate, in terms of functional reliability, after it has been manufactured.
