Most of the work required to cut a material is dissipated as heat, leading to rapid temperature changes from room temperature to near the melting temperature of the material (over 1000 8C in steels) within milliseconds. Heat is generated predominantly in three zones by: elastoplastic deformation in the primary shear zone; friction and extreme elastoplastic deformation in the secondary shear zone between the tool rake face and the chip; and friction at the tool flank face with the newly generated workpiece surface.

Quality and type of lubrication which are required to realize tool workpiece separation and friction reduction depend strongly on the tribological loads that appear in a specific process. The tribological load can be mainly characterized by the following parameters: contact normal stresses, surface enlargement, relative velocity between tool and workpiece as well as initial temperature. [N. Bay et al. / CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology 59 (2010), 761]

 

 

tribological systems       

all technical systems that contain friction and wear processes are called tribological systems. These systems consit of a main body, an antibody, an intermediate and an ambient medium.

 

 

true stress         

The rheological tests generate the true stress–true strain curves of the bar material. These curves are then implemented through a rheological law in the FE model of the process in order to provide accurate predictions of the thermal and mechanical parameters in the piercing operation, especially in the material zone where cavities develop.[A. Ghiotti et al. / CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology 58 (2009), 256]

 

true value          

value consistent with the definition of a given particular quantity [Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (2008), 32]

 

 

Upsetting / axial forming             

belongs to the main group of forming processes [DIN 8582] Free-form shaping is called axial formning when a workpiece dimension between flat, parallel active surfaces is reduced.[DIN 8583-3]

 

 

validation           

The assurance that a product, service, or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders. It often involves acceptance and suitability with external customers. [IEEE guide--adoption of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) standard (2011), 452]

 

 

verification        

The evaluation of whether or not a product, service, or system complies with a regulation, requirement, specification, or imposed condition. It is often an internal process. [IEEE guide--adoption of the Project Management Institute (PMI®) standard (2011), 452]

 

 

Vertex (graph theory) (node)   

This preprocessing step optimizes the results of the segmentation, during which each vertex of a dataset is classified as plane or notplane. For this classification the normals of neighboring triangles are compared and a vertex is declared as plane, if the variance of the normals lies under a certain threshold. [L. Shaw, A. Weckenmann / CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology 60 (2011), 541]

 

 

visualization      

The visualization encompasses all techniques for creating graphics, diagrams and animations for the communication of information. What helps to take actions and make decisions.

 

 

Volumetrisch-deviatorischer Split            

For some materials, it is useful to divide the material response in a volume-changing fraction and a volume loyal fraction because they behave different characteristics concerning compression and shear behavior.

 

 

von Mises yield criterion (equivalent stress)       

The von Mises yield criterion is used to transfer yield stress of an uniaxial stress state to a multi-axial stress state.

 

 

Voronoi diagram             

The Voronoi algorithm utilizes a set of statistically distributed points (seeds) to partition space into region, i.e., Voronoi cells, one per point and hence to approximate a random microstructure. The Voronoi cells are created by considering each point and its nearest neighbours by application of a Delaunay triangulation algorithm. [M. Abouridouane et al. / CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology 61 (2012), 73] duality: the voronoi diagram is the dual graph to the delaunay triangulation

is the reduction in thickness of drawn shell walls by pulling them through tight dies [Machinery’s Handbook 29th Edition].
