Synopsis

This book provides readers with the fundamental, analytical, and quantitative knowledge of machining process planning and optimization based on advanced and practical understanding of machinery, mechanics, accuracy, dynamics, monitoring techniques, and control strategies that they need to understanding machining and machine tools. It is written for first-year graduate students in mechanical engineering, and is also appropriate for use as a reference book by practicing engineers. It covers topics such as single and multiple point cutting processes; grinding processes; machine tool components, accuracy, and metrology; shear stress in cutting, cutting temperature and thermal analysis, and machine tool chatter. The second section of the book is devoted to “Non-Traditional Machining,” where readers can find chapters on electrical discharge machining, electrochemical machining, laser and electron beam machining, and biomedical machining. Examples of realistic problems that engineers are likely to face in the field are included, along with solutions and explanations that foster a didactic learning experience.

From the Back Cover

This book delivers the fundamental science and mechanics of machining and machine tools by presenting systematic and quantitative knowledge in the form of process mechanics and physics. It gives readers a solid command of machining science and engineering, and familiarizes them with the geometry and functionality requirements of creating parts and components in today’s markets. The authors address traditional machining topics, such as:

• single and multiple point cutting processes
  
• grinding
• components
• accuracy and metrology
• shear stress in cutting
• cutting temperature and analysis
• chatter

They also address non-traditional machining, such as:

• electrical discharge machining
• electrochemical machining
• laser and electron beam machining

A chapter on biomedical machining is also included. This book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate mechani

cal engineering students, manufacturing engineers, and researchers. Each chapter contains examples, exercises and their solutions, and homework problems that reflect practical industrial applications. The authors provide a platform for mastering the basic theories and fundamental principles of machining so that readers will be able to effectively handle new materials, tools, machines, and configurations long after they put the book down.
