Abstract: In this paper, a mechanics-based model is developed and I used for analyzing the steady-state configuration of brush fibers during concentric brushing of a cylindrical surface. The geometry of ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mechanics formulation is outlined and used for evaluating the steady-state, large deflection of a slender member subjected to displacement-dependent centrifugal load. The problem ...

Abstract: In this paper the role which workpart geometry plays in the stiffness properties and contact zone characteristics of circular filamentary brushes is investigated. The problem is examined by ...

Abstract: In this paper, issues that are relevant to the design of brushing tool systems are examined and discussed. First, a general framework for brush design is presented that can provide a basis ...
