Flexural Characteristics of Tapered Bar in Relation to Taper Angle Measurements

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flexural motion of a cantilever bar can be used to monitor the taper angle measurements of the bar without incorporating any geometric measurement. This provides non-destructive taper measurement with fast processing in manufacturing line. The laser ablation of a free end of the cantilever bar enables to generate a recoil pressure at the irradiated surface while resulting in external forcing function for the initiation of the flexural motion. Consequently, in the present study, laser induced ablation of free end tapered cantilever bar and resulting displacement and frequency of the flexural motion is examined. The study is extended to include influence of positive and negative bar taper angles on the flexural characteristics. In addition, deviation of displacement and frequency of the flexural motion due to tapered bar from the parallel bar is examined. It is found that the flexural characteristics of the tapered bar enable to determine taper angle of the bar with high accuracy.
