Abstract:
In order to improve the surface forming quality and machining efficiency of composite materials and reduce tool wear, a two-dimensional rotary ultrasonic combined electro-machining (2DRUEM) technology with low electrical conductivity and low current density was proposed in this study. Additionally, a gap detection unit of the machining system was designed with the integration of grinding force and gap current, and the average errors and maximum errors of the model were 5.61% and 12.08%, respectively, which were better than single detection. Furthermore, the machining parameters were optimally selected via NSGA-II, and the maximum machining surface roughness error was 5.9%, the maximum material removal rate error was 5.5%, and the maximum edge accuracy error was 8.9%, as established through experiments.

Unsymmetric Loading of Thin-Walled Members: Problem Solving
To compute the shear forces, find the shear flow at a specific distance from the endpoint using the vertical shear and the moment of inertia values. The total shear force on the flange is calculated by integrating the shear flow from one end of the flange to the other.
Next, calculate the moments of...
