“…If the mass of the wire sections between nozzles and the workpiece ( h 1 + h 2 ), which is varied in the range of 3–5 mm ( H’ n - H n ), and the mass losses on tool-electrode wear [143, 144, 145, 146] are neglected, then the amplitude of oscillation of the wire tool may be expressed as a complex amplitude of the harmonic signal [147, 148, 149, 150, 151]:Aˆn=A0·etrueβ¯τ,where A 0 is the amplitude in the direction of wire feed, which is limited by the discharge gap Δ and is less than Δ, A n ≤ A 0 for stable EDM, βtrue¯ is the damping coefficient expressed as a complex number in the form a + bi , and τ is the period of oscillation T .…”
