Adaptive Memory-Augmented Unfolding Network for Compressed Sensing.

Deep unfolding networks (DUNs) have attracted growing attention in compressed sensing (CS) due to their good interpretability and high performance. However, many DUNs often improve the reconstruction effect at the price of a large number of parameters and have the problem of feature information loss during iteration. This paper proposes a novel adaptive memory-augmented unfolding network for compressed sensing (AMAUN-CS).

Determination of the Minimum Uncut Chip Thickness of Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Based on Dead Metal Zone.

In Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy micro-machining, since the uncut chip thickness (UCT) is comparable to the radius of the tool cutting edge, there exists a minimum uncut chip thickness (MUCT), and when the UCT is smaller than the MUCT, the plowing effect dominates the cutting process, which seriously affects the machined surface quality and tool life. Therefore, the reliable prediction of the MUCT is of great significance. This paper used Deform to establish an orthogonal cutting simulation model, studied the effect of the dead metal zone (DMZ) on the micro-cutting material flow, determined the DMZ range, and proposed a new method for determining the MUCT based on the DMZ.
