In a machining process, a sharp tool cuts through some workpiece, generally by skimming along its surface. The "depth of cut" is the measurement of how far beneath the surface of the workpiece the tool is penetrating. The "chip thickness" is the thickness of the material being cut away.

One might think that the thickness of the removed material would be equal to the depth of cut, and sometimes it is. In that case, the chip thickness ratio is 1.0. However, depending on many other factors (cutting tool geometry, material properties, etc.), sometimes the chip will be thicker or thinner than the depth of cut, due to deformation of the chip as it is removed. This change of thickness as the chip material is being removed is defined as the "chip thickness ratio."

What is the relation between fineness ratio and thickness ratio of an aerofoil?

The fineness ratio of an aerofoil is defined as the ratio of its chord length to its maximum thickness, while the thickness ratio is the ratio of the maximum thickness to the chord length. Generally, a higher fineness ratio indicates a more streamlined shape, which can improve aerodynamic performance, while a lower thickness ratio may enhance structural integrity and reduce drag. The interplay between these ratios affects the overall aerodynamic efficiency and lift-to-drag characteristics of the aerofoil. Optimizing both ratios is crucial for achieving desired performance in various flight regimes.


The ratio of thermal boundary layer thickness to the concentration boundary layer thickness is?

The ratio of thermal boundary layer thickness to the concentration boundary layer thickness is typically denoted as Prandtl Schmidt number (PrSc). It is defined as the ratio of thermal diffusivity to mass diffusivity of a fluid and represents the relative thicknesses of the thermal and concentration boundary layers in a flow field.


Why thickness of chip is more than the depth of cut?

The thickness of the chip is more than the depth of cut because the machining process involves the removal of material in a way that the chip must accommodate the tool's geometry and cutting action. When the cutting tool engages the workpiece, it not only displaces material but also creates a chip that is thicker at the cutting edge due to the force exerted and the deformation of the material. Additionally, the cutting process often involves shear forces that contribute to the chip's thickness exceeding the nominal depth of cut. This results in a chip that is typically thicker than the depth measured directly at the cutting edge.


What ratio diameter to thickness of cylinder determines thin or thick cylinder?

If the ratio of thicness to dia of cylinder is 0.1 and less, it is thin. And if this ratio is more than 0.1 it is thick cylinder
