Abstract: Filamentary brushing tools are used in a wide range of surface finishing processes, such as deburring, edge radiusing, polishing, and surface decontamination applications. Moreover, these tools ...

Abstract: In this paper, process models are reported for a dynamic system consisting of a polymer/mineral abrasive filamentary brush during an orthogonal deburring operation. Dynamic process models are ...

Abstract: This paper outlines a strategy for evaluating the planar contact zone geometry generated by circular brush contact with a flat workpiece. Parameters which characterize the contact zone are ...

Abstract: In the first part of this paper, an experimental system is described which was developed and used for measuring compliant tool performance characteristics. Elementary mechanics considerations and ...
