Abstract: An optimization strategy is presented for cylindrical plunge grinding operations. The optimization strategy is designed to minimize cycle time while satisfying production constraints. Monotonicity ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of grinding temperatures are used to estimate the energy partition to the workpiece. In the present investigation, three different temperature measuring techniques are ...

Abstract: An investigation is reported of the forces and energy in circular sawing and grinding of gray granite. Measurements were made of the forces and power over a wide range of sawing and grinding ...

Abstract: This is the second of two papers concerned with on-line optimization of cylindrical plunge grinding cycles with continuously varying infeed control. In the first paper [1], dynamic programming ...

Abstract: A new methodology is developed for optimal infeed control of cylindrical plunge grinding cycles. Unlike conventional cycles having a few sequential stages with discrete infeed rates, the new ...

Abstract: A new thermocouple fixation method for grinding temperature measurement is presented. Unlike the conventional method using a welded thermocouple, this new method uses epoxy for affixing the ...
