Tool wear monitoring by emitted sound analysis using Hilbert Huang transform and competitive neural network

Turning is one of the important machining processes in manufacturing industries. Tools wear during turning, is one of the major problems which may lead to production loss and machine down time. An effective tool wear monitoring method is therefore required to minimise the above. The work done in thi...
