Abstract: An abrasive machining process for ceramics is simulated with a nonlinear thermodynamic constitutive model based on the principle of continuum damage mechanics (CDM). The model consists of a set ...

Abstract: A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model is proposed to predict grinding damage of ceramics. The model takes into account the inelastic behavior of ceramics, the effect of grinding induced ...

Abstract: As bolted joints affect the overall accuracy and stiffness of a machine tool, their behaviors have always been important to consider in a machine design process. The bulging phenomenon of a ...

Abstract: A novel linear piezomotor is developed for machine tool applications. This paper presents the design strategy for this high stiffness linear piezomotor with nanometer resolution. The linear ...

Abstract: This study simulates the sawing process with an abrasive circular saw blade and analyzes the generation of cutoff surfaces in the sawing process with the consideration of the blade deflection ...

Abstract: The workholding stability problem has been one of the critical issues in shoe centerless grinding since it can directly affect the grinding process, and therefore cause the surface quality and ...

Abstract: A theoretical model based on mechanics and machine dynamics is presented to describe the effect of machine stiffness on surface integrity of ground silicon nitride. The model accounts for both ...

Abstract: A prototype lapping machine, which finishes surfaces by applying elliptical motions to a lapping tool in the presence of diamond compound, is developed. This paper describes the structure of ...
