The main milling cutter used for typical arthroplastic surgery robot, ROBODC system is 7.8 mm milling cutter. this cutter was used in case of traditional total knee arthroplasty, but 7.8mm milling cutter is not appropriate for newest surgical technique, MIS(minimally invasive Surgery). Generally, cutting method for MIS is tunnel cutting and cutter of cantilever type and small diameter is must be developed for MIS. Generally, Main problem of cutting system is chattering due to vibration of cutter by rotation and numerical analysis using finite element method was used for identifying chattering problems in this study. shaft length, cutter length, diameter and so on were proposed by axis displacement, stress, strain analysis through numerical analysis.
Heat transfer and flow characteristics in a pipe in which the rotating cutting tool for boring a underground pipe without digging were considered in this study. The amount of heat generation due to the friction between the rotating cutter and pipe wall, mixing flow of air and water injected to cool down are the two important factors to design the boring machine. Computational fluid dynamics analysis using the Eulerian mixture model and the standard k-ε turbulence model was used to analyze the complex phenomena in a pipe during the process. Results show that pipe wall temperature decreased with increasing the cooling water inlet velocity. It is also shown that pipe wall temperature was lowered when the cutter rotation speed was increased until 600 rpm. There was no further cooling effect over 600 rpm.
