Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Today, the advanced parts producing industry is focused on a transformation to smart manufacturing. However, finding an effective path to smart manufacturing is one of the biggest challenges for manufacturers in various industries. To make this possible, new advanced manufacturing solutions must be developed. They start with modern machine tools. Then, through the process integration and optimization, efficient high-quality machining processes are developed, resulting in time and energy savings, reduced CO2 emissions and improved quality of machined parts.

This Special Issue aims to present the recent advances in the modelling and optimization of parts with complex shapes machining process for modern manufacturing engineering. Especially CNC machining, application of modern tools, machining difficult-to-cut materials, machining of additively manufactured semi-finished products, computer modelling and simulation of the cutting process and the use of Artificial Intelligence, Finite Element Methods, Design of Experiment and other modern techniques in this process.

The aviation industry is still looking for effective manufacturing methods. Currently, the challenge is still the machining of shapes in thin-walled materials. This work focuses on the analysis of the influence of these parameters on deformations during the drilling process of holes in the adapters of aircraft engine body accessories. The drilling process was carried out in the thin-walled superalloy Inconel 718, which is classified as a difficult-to-machine material. During the analyses, experimental studies based on the Response Surface Method (RSM) and finite element method (FEM) calculations were carried out simultaneously. The aim of this work was to analyze the developed mathematical models describing nonlinear relationships between cutting parameters, cutting forces, and deformations of the aircraft engine body characterized by a complex, thin-walled geometric structure. By using the proposed solutions, it is possible to achieve integration between the techniques of conducting research, performing calculations using FEM, and designing the machining. The advantage of this comprehensive approach used in our work is the development of mathematical models that strongly fit the results of the research. The results of analyses and calculations presented in the article and the research methodology used can be applied to industrial conditions. Full article
