Abstract: Correlation and related statistical techniques are used to describe the cutting surfaces of grinding belts and wheels. The relation of these statistics to cutting performance is indicated.

Abstract: Profiles of abrasive surfaces are analyzed by means of Markov chain theory. The Chapman-Kolmogorov equations, together with recurrent-event theory, are used to deduce theoretical distributions for ...

Abstract: A statistical polyhedron model of abrasive grain is developed and its application to the design of abrasive cutting tools indicated. The model incorporates particle geometry and orientation with ...

Abstract: The philosophy and methodology for a systematic, general search for new manufacturing processes is presented. Some postulated processes resulting from such a search are reviewed.

Abstract: The forces on a single-point cutting tool under conditions of progressive flank wear are analyzed under the assumptions of constant rake, friction, and shear angle. Relations between wear land ...

Abstract: Committee of the ASME Materials Processing Field: J. L. Wennberg, Therm, Inc., Chairman ; B. F. von Turkovich, University of Illinois, Metal Cutting Analysis; J. R. Roubik, Kearney & Trecker ...
