Deines, and Donghai Wang<br/> Biofuels derived from cellulosic biomass offer an alternative to petroleum-based liquid transportation fuels. In order to convert cellulosic biomass into biofuels, size reduction is a necessary step along with pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation. In the literature, there are inconsi ... [J.

Shih<br/> This paper presents the three dimensional (3-D) finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the workpiece thermal distortion in drilling multiple deep-holes under minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) condition. Heat sources on the drilling hole bottom surface (HBS) and hole wall surface (HWS) are first d ... [J. Manuf. Sci.

Femtosecond (fs) laser ablation provides a potential solution, but involves many complicated physical processes that have not been well understood, which have hindered its practical application.

Jun, Chanseo Goo, Mohammad Malekian, and Simon Park<br/> This paper investigates the mechanistic modeling of micro end milling forces, with consideration of the effects of plowing, elastic recovery, effective rake angle, and flank face rubbing. Two different mechanistic models are developed for shearing- and plowing-dominant regimes. Micro end milling exp ... [J. Manuf. Sci.

Stephenson, and Jun Ni<br/> This paper presents a method of applying wavelets to decompose three-dimensional surface into multiple-scale subsurfaces, and of using the subsurface features to predict surface functions and detect machining errors. The one-dimensional discrete wavelet decomposition is first introduced, and then, i ... [J. Manuf. Sci.

Patrick Spicer, and Adamaris Rivera-Silva<br/> The design of manufacturing systems is typically decoupled from ordering policy decisions. Traditionally, the system design decision is made to minimize the total investment cost given some system capacity requirements. Then, after the system is implemented, the ordering policy decisions are made. I ... [J. Manuf. Sci.
