CUTTING FORCE CONTROL FOR BALL END MILLING OF SCULPTURED SURFACES USING FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER

Njiri, J. G.; Ikua, B.W.; Nyakoe, G. N. (JKUAT, 2017-04-24)

Productivity and precision in machining is normally limited by the forces emanating from the cutting process. Due to the inherent varying nature of the work piece in terms of geometry and material composition, the ...
An Evaluation of Maintenance Practices in Kenya: Some preliminary results

Muchiri, A.K.; Ikua, B.W.; Nyakoe G. N; Kabini S. K; Makenzi M. M (JKUAT, 2017-05-24)

Over time, the definition of maintenance has evolved from activities meant to keep equipment in an operable condition, to a set of activities required to keep the means of production in the desired operating conditions ...
Experimental Investigations on Welding Deformation Control Methods of a Butt-Weld in a Manual Arc Welding Operation

Njiraini, B.N.; Ikua, B.W.; Maranga, S.M. (JKUAT, 2012)

Welding is a joining process that has enormous applications in manufacturing and construction industry. One of the challenges faced during welding is distortion of joined metals. Since construction of some structures require ...
Investigation on Applicability of Diatomite Powder-Mixed Dielectric Fluid in Electrical Discharge Machining Processes

Muniu, J.M.; Ikua, B.W.; Nyaanga, D.M.; Gicharu, S.N. (2012)

Powder-mixed electrical discharge machining is one of the latest techniques for improving material removal rate and electrode wear ratio among other performance characteristics. However, its utilization in the manufacturing ...
Layout improvement at a wheel barrow manufacturing company in Kenya using Systematic Layout Planning(SLP)

Njiraini, B.N.; Maranga, S.M.; Ikua, B.W. (JKUAT, 2012)
Review of ANFIS and its Application in Control of Machining Processes

Kabini, S.K.,; Ikua, B.W.; Nyakoe, G.N. (2017-02-13)

Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) are increasingly becoming popular in the modern world. This is due to their ability to model or represent vagueness in day to day activities or processes. These systems ...
A Review of Flushing Techniques Used in Electrical Discharge Machining

Makenzi, M.M.; Ikua, B.W. (JKUAT, 2012)

Flushing is a very important function in any electrical discharge machining (EDM) operation. It not only serves to remove the eroded debris from the spark-gap region but also has various other functions which highly influence ...
A Study on Influence of Beam Orientation in Engraving Using CO2 Laser

Wangui, E.; Ikua, B.W.; Nyakoe, G.N. (JKUAT, 2012)

In recent times, lasers have been adopted in specific areas of machining because of their unique qualities. There has been a lot of research on the factors that affect the laser machining process. However most of this ...
