Evaluation of the Effect of Load on Vibration Amplitude in Ultrasonic-assisted Drilling
It is well known that variation in amplitude can affect the consistent performance of an ultrasonic system for use in industry. In ultrasonic-assisted drilling (UAD), this matter is even more critical. Due to the unavailability of the drill tip during the drilling process, it is extremely difficult to measure varying process parameters such as load […]
