Reference number : GC-2017-Q1-00433, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Ahmadi, Keivan (University of Victoria), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : British Columbia|Colombie-Britannique, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Machining is a critical part of manufacturing airframe parts, but productivity of these processes is limited by_x000D_
the high flexibility of the workpiece, which may cause vibrations, dynamic deflections, and chatter and lead to_x000D_
poor surface finish and damage to the workpiece or the machine tool. This project aims to minimize the_x000D_
machining time of some thin-walled aluminum airframe components without causing chatter or violating the_x000D_
surface finish and dimensional tolerances._x000D_
_x000D_
UVic's Advanced Manufacturing (UVICAM) laboratory will adapt tool selection, spindle speed selection,_x000D_
feedrate scheduling, and toolpath planning strategies as well as High Speed Machining technology for the_x000D_
milling process of three airframe parts that are being produced at Viking Air's North Saanich plant. Chatter free_x000D_
parameters will be identified by implementing the newly developed Finite Strip Modeling method, and by_x000D_
conducting impact hammer tests on the workpiece. The objective is to enhance the developed modeling_x000D_
approach to solve important industrial problems, also to verify the efficiency of this novel technology in_x000D_
