Theoretical modelling and FE simulation on the oblique diamond turning of ZnS crystal

Micro-cutting of single-crystal metal: Finite-element analysis of deformation and material removal

“…Similar research was also conducted in the field of micromachining [18,19]; for example, in the work of Jin and Altintas [20], a relationship between cutting forces, chip thickness and a tool-edge radius was identified through series of FE simulations of micro-milling. Thus, FE simulations could provide an in-depth understanding of underpinning micromechanics in the micromachining process that are difficult to quantify experimentally.…”

Research progress on ultra-precision machining technologies for soft-brittle crystal materials

“…Chen et al [29] and Zong et al [30] manufactured CaF 2 and ZnS crystal samples with high quality surface, respectively. SPDT is suitable for processing large size soft-brittle crystal elements; SPDT-machined elements have low roughness and high surface accuracy.…”

Finite-element simulation of scratching on a coated brittle plate

“…Zinc sulphide (ZnS) crystal is one of the most popular materials used in infrared transmitting windows or domes for systems operating in the long wave region [8]. ZnS was taken as a coating for the simulation of internal stresses near the wafer surface under force loading, since ZnS can be coated on the silicon wafer as an anti-reflecting film to reduce the amount of sunlight lost in a solar cell or as infrared-transparent optical window.…”
